This invention discloses an enhanced NFC antenna structure, including a flexible circuit board, an NFC chip, an antenna, and a card. The flexible circuit board is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the card, and the NFC chip is fixedly connected to the surface of the flexible circuit board. A multi-turn closed antenna is disposed on the surface of the card, and the antenna is connected to the NFC chip. This invention increases the number of antenna turns from the conventional 2-3 turns to 5 turns, widens the antenna width from 0.2mm to 0.35mm, and increases the overall sensing area of ​​the antenna from a 2mm reduction in the card edge to only a 0.5mm reduction, maximizing the use of the card edge space. This improves coupling efficiency and increases the sensing range from 1.5cm to 3.2cm in the test environment, with a sensitivity increase of over 100%. Therefore, it exhibits stronger sensing performance when communicating with low-power devices, with significantly improved sensing range and sensitivity. It can be widely used in near-field communication scenarios such as access control, identity verification, and gift card activation.
