Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for a co-located NFC reader. A top conductive layer may include an inner PCB section, including a circuit for an electronic device, and an outer PCB section, including a near-field communications (NFC) chipset, separated by a gap in which an NFC antenna connected to the NFC chipset may be located. A substrate layer may include an inner PCB section and an outer PCB section separated by the gap. A bridge including a trace may cross the gap. A lower conductive layer may include an inner PCB section, including a circuit for the electronic device electrically connected to the circuit for the electronic device located on the inner PCB section of the top conductive layer, and an outer PCB section, including a circuit for the electronic device, separated by the gap.
