Folded near field communication antenna

A mobile communication terminal comprising:

• a battery comprising a generally rectangular surface having a first edge and a second edge opposing the first edge;
• and
• a loop antenna comprising a ferrite plate and a spiral loop of a conductive line, the ferrite plate comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface facing away from the first side surface the first and second side surfaces connecting the top and bottom surfaces,
• the spiral loop comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion interconnecting and interposed between the first and second portions such that the first, second and middle portions in combination provide an operable antenna loop;
• the spiral loop formed on the ferrite plate such that the first portion is on the top surface, the second portion is on the bottom surface, the middle portion is on the first side surface and not on the second side surface,
• wherein the loop antenna is overlappingly arranged over the generally rectangular surface of the battery when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the generally rectangular surface, in which the middle portion formed on the first side surface is aligned along and adjacent to the first edge,
• wherein a first distance from the first side surface to the first edge is shorter than a second distance from the second side surface to the second edge, wherein the second distance is longer than a third distance from the second side surface to the first edge.
