Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an antenna, various implementations and methods therefor. Various embodiments are amenable to implementation with a receiver circuit that harvests power using energy from a radio frequency (RF) signal received, and a near-field communication (NFC) circuit. A first antenna collects and presents the RF signal to the receiver circuit, and a second antenna communicates NFC signals for the NFC circuit using an antenna portion shared with the first antenna.
