Abstract
A smart card inlay comprising an inductive antenna, and a capacitive network. The inductive antenna is configured to (i) communicate wirelessly with a card terminal, and (ii) power the card circuitry via inductive coupling to the card terminal. The capacitive network is connected in parallel with the inductive antenna. The capacitive network comprises a first capacitor in series with a second capacitor. The second capacitor is connectable in parallel with card circuitry. The first capacitor has a capacitance Cand the second capacitor has a capacitance C, the ratio C/Cbeing so as to match the impedance of the card terminal as reduced by the capacitive network to the impedance of the card circuitry.
