Abstract
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for enhancing human body communications (HBC) mode during near field communication (NFC) related functions or transactions. Optimization of the HBC communications system can include a radio frequency (RF) tuning circuitry to generate a voltage-based resonant frequency at respective capacitive pads of transmitting and receiving devices. The RF tuning circuitry includes a series connected capacitor-inductor driver that may be constructed within or outside of an NFC module circuitry or NFC silicon.
