Antenna arrangement

An antenna arrangement comprising:

• a first antenna configured to receive and transmit a first set of near field communication signals;
• a second antenna configured to receive and transmit a second set of near field communication signals;
• a first transmitter path comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first antenna is located at the second end of the first transmitter path and wherein the first transmitter path comprises a first matching circuit arranged between the first end of the first transmitter path and the first antenna;
• a second transmitter path comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the second antenna is located at the second end of the second transmitter path and wherein the second transmitter path comprises a second matching circuit arranged between the first end of the second transmitter path and the second antenna;
• a first receiver path coupled to the first transmitter path at a first tapping point wherein the first tapping point is arranged between the first end of the first transmitter path and the first antenna;
• a second receiver path coupled to the second transmitter path at a second tapping point wherein the second tapping point is arranged between the first end of the second transmitter path and the second antenna;
• and
• a balun arranged to electrically isolate the first antenna from the second antenna.

A device comprising:

• a first transmitter path comprising a first end and a second end, the first transmitter path comprises a first matching circuit arranged between the first end of the first transmitter path and the first antenna;
• a second transmitter path comprising a first end and a second end, the second transmitter path comprises a second matching circuit arranged between the first end of the second transmitter path and the second antenna;
• a first antenna coupled to the second end of the first transmitter path and configured to receive and transmit a first set of near field communication (NFC) signals;
• a second antenna coupled to the second end of the second transmitter path and configured to receive and transmit a second set of NFC signals;
• a first receiver path coupled to the first transmitter path at a first tapping point between the first end of the first transmitter path and the first antenna;
• a second receiver path coupled to the second transmitter path at a second tapping point between the first end of the second transmitter path and the second antenna;
• and
• a balun configured to electrically isolate the first antenna from the second antenna.
