It does not replace but extend the details as explained in [1]. Although such antennas are relatively straightforward in principle and look very similar when comparing various contactless smartcards, experience proves that their parameters do have a noticeable impact on performance. 1.1 How to use this document In this document only the hints and notes specific to MIFARE Plus are explained. All the basics and common design details are explained in the base document [1].
