Abstract

A transmission device for a near field communication (NFC) device includes a matching circuit, a connecting interface with a first width for connecting an operating circuit of the NFC device, a first transmission line electrically connected between an antenna of the NFC device and the matching circuit, and a second transmission line electrically connected between connecting interface and the matching circuit, including an increasing width portion and a constant width portion, wherein a width of the second transmission increases from the first width to a second width within the increasing width portion and keeps the second width within the constant width portion, wherein the second width is greater than and related to the first width.
