NFC Communications

I'm trying to test NFC on a NRF52840 Development Kit (PCA10056 - .Version 3.0.3), using  NRF SDK 2.6.0.

I'm testing  using the RECORD_TEXT sample project (C:\ncs\v2.6.0\nrf\samples\nfc\record_text).

My DK was delivered from Mouser without a NFC antenna, so I'm testing a few antenna samples from a potential antenna vendor, which I've conneced to P0.09/P0.10.

RECORD_TEXT doesn't see them.

I've done some basic checking,

     1. there are resistors on the DK that connect the NFC ports to P0.09 and P0.10.

         They seem to be correct - R44 and R46 are 0 OHM resistors, R43 and R45 are open.

      2. UICR 0x20C (NFCPINS) is 0XFFFF

      3. The Android app I'm using sees both Type 2 and Type 4 tags.

I can't find any specs on the NFC Antenna - so I can't ask the vendor if their antennas match the expected specification for the NFC drivers on the DK.

Since my DK was delivered from Mouser without a NFC antenna,  I can't test the NCF function in a native Nordic environment.

Can you:

     1. point me to a source for the Nordic NFC antenna.

      2. point me to the Specs for that antenna, so I can verify them with the vendor.

Thank you
