TIDM-NFC-READER: Missing Design Files

Part Number: TIDM-NFC-READER
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDM-NFC-RW, , TRF7970A

Hello,

I would like to preface this by stating that I am very inexperienced in RF design.  I need to create a board that I can use for NFC tap cards in a medium-scale fleet of vehicles.  The evaluation board in question is the TIDM-NFC-READER using the TRF7970A IC, and I am unable to find necessary information on it.  The schematic and BOM are available, but none of the PCB layout or gerber files.  I noticed that the TIDM-NFC-RW board has all of these files but not this board for some reason.  Because of my lack of knowledge in RF design, I was hoping to essentially copy and paste the matching network and antenna exactly as shown in the gerber.  I am hoping doing this and using the same copper weight will eliminate the need for me to have to tune anything later on.  All other components on the board unrelated to the NFC side hopefully will not affect the signal integrity once properly grounded and shielded.  If someone could point me in the direction of where I could find the needed design files for this board, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Levi
