Abstract
A mobile barcode reader may include a housing having a defined exit window, a scan engine, a primary NFC antenna, and a secondary NFC antenna. The scan engine may be configured to read barcodes and positioned within a front portion of the housing with one or more imagers having a field-of-view extending out of the exit window. The primary NFC antenna may be disposed in a first plane extending in a longitudinal direction of the housing, the primary NFC antenna operably coupled with electronics of the mobile barcode reader to facilitate NFC reading. The secondary NFC antenna may be disposed proximate the front portion and extending in a second plane transverse to the longitudinal of the housing, and configured as a boosting antenna for the primary NFC antenna without being electrically coupled with the electronics of the mobile barcode reader. Related methods of operating and manufacturing are also disclosed.
