Abstract
An NFC card includes an antenna circuit including an antenna coil having at least one magnetic axis, and at least one integrated circuit linked to the antenna circuit. The magnetic axis of the antenna coil is substantially parallel to at least one side of the card, and the card further includes at least one electrically conductive screen extending near the antenna coil, which does not cross the magnetic axis. The card does not include any magnetically permeable material between the at least one conductive screen and the antenna coil. Embodiments of the invention are applicable in particular to SIM-NFC card and SD-NFC cards.
