Currently i'm using PN7150 with android board. The NFC reader (PN7150) can be used to read type A cards, but cannot detect type B cards at all.
Below is the PCB antenna that I used :
The following is a schematic for the antenna matching circuit:
Smith chart simulation results from RFSim99:

Below is the signal shape (Smith chart) of the measurement results on the PCB board using Nano VNA.
This is my android code :
