I'm working for an RFID project (13.56 MHz) and the Q factor is very important. We are in the near field and we use the inductive coupling; the Q has to be between 40 and 60. For Q too high there is not enough bandwidth for the modulation and the antenna is too much sensible to the environment, for Q too short the signal is weak. Massimo |
