Which is the typical value of the matching impedance that the ST25R3911B should see?

I'm designing the NFC antenna, the EMC filter and the matching circuit, for an industrial NFC application. I'm looking for a good value of the matching impedance that provide the right tradeoff between performance and efficiency

​Hello,

The target matching impedance is commonly chosen by the available power budget - the power you want to spend when the reader is transmitting.

If there is no special power budget defined and there are no special requirements about read range, then a good target is around 20 to 30 Ohm. This should give a power consumption between 170mA and 140mA during constant wave.
