FPGA implementation of NFC type 2 PICC

Abstract

In this text the implementation of an NFC Forum compatible type 2 PICC on an FPGA is described. The description begins with an introduction to the technology, followed by a brief overview of the development module. The last part is about the actual implementation, and testing of this. The implementation is done in SystemVerilog, and verified on an FPGA platform with NFC analog front end and antenna on the circuit board. The motivation of this project is to make a working NFC-A PICC, for further investigation and exploration about the possibilities behind this technology, and how these can be exploited to for example develop sensor and measurement systems.
