Antenna configuration to facilitate near field coupling

A method of manufacturing a device to establish near field coupling comprising:

• means for establishing a near field coupling at the device through a continuous loop of coil antenna forming a figure-eight arrangement, which includes an upper loop and a lower loop, the upper loop includes an opposite sense of rotation against the lower loop;
• means for receiving incoming magnetic fields at receive mode through a flux guide that is installed between the coil antenna and at least one component that defines top and bottom surfaces, the flux guide facilitates magnetic flux at the upper loop and the lower loop to induce current of the same phase during the receive mode, the flux guide facilitates the magnetic flux at the upper loop and the lower loop to generate magnetic fields of the same direction at transmit mode.
