Near-field communications device

A near-field device, comprising:

• a conductive housing physically coupled to the near-field device;
• a near-field antenna, having a first feed point and a second feed point, and including,
• a first inductive coil having a first end coupled to the first feed point, a second end coupled to the second feed point, and a connection point;
• a conductive plate capacitively coupled to the conductive housing, and coupled to the first end of the first inductive coil;
• a tuning circuit coupled to the first and second feed points, and including,
• a first capacitance bank, a second capacitance bank, a first resistance bank, and a second resistance bank;
• wherein one end of each of the capacitance banks and one end of each of the resistance banks are coupled to either the first feed point or the second feed point;
• a reference potential;
• wherein another end of each of the capacitance banks and another end of each of the resistance banks are coupled to the reference potential;
• wherein the connection point is galvanically coupled to the reference potential;
• and
• wherein the conductive housing is galvanically coupled to the reference potential;
• wherein the first inductive coil is configured to receive or transmit near-field magnetic signals;
• and
• wherein the conductive plate and the conductive housing are configured to receive or transmit near-field electric signals.
