Antenna inside R Series Australian Passport

Australia's new passport features an antenna and hidden images.

Just curious what the antenna used for? I can’t find any info about it.

    The NFC chip inside the front cover, so when you scan it on the reader machine at departure and arrivals, it passes all your passport details instead of having to deal with a disgruntled airport worker who has to enter it manually.

    Or were you looking for something like:

    It’s for a radio tracking beacon used by Russian hacker spies that sell all your personal data to the Chinese Flat Earth consortium that works for the lizard people who puppeteer Joe Biden… You need to hold your passport directly at the sun and spin around counter-clockwise three times to deactivate it.

      If he's anything like me, he might be curious about what's actually new. Passports have had NFC chips for many years. What's interesting about this new 'antenna' tech? I'm hoping it just makes the scanning process more reliable and quicker. Because it's tedious and unreliable for me at the moment.

      • Yes am looking for more info about antenna, chip we have it for a longtime

      Damn, I went 3x Clockwise.

      People have started bringing me unmarked Bills in Aldi Bags and I'm supposed to launder the Cash at Crown or Star Casino then forward cleaned money to the Head of the Reserve Bank (less my overheads).
      It was fun at first, but it has become a 24/7 thing (but my Blackjack Game has improved).

      • The other trick is to do 4 backflips in an alifoil hat.

    • Am curious about antenna , chip we have it for a long time

        Here's the thing, NFC chips and antenna go hand in hand. Without the Antenna, the NFC chip will not work. So since you know we have had the chip for a long time, then the passport also has the antenna too.

        From your article, it's just highlighting that one of the new security watermarks is also a functional one that acts as an antenna(for the NFC).

      You forgot to mention the WEF

    • They have had 'swipe-reader' technology for 20 years. Haven't had to manually enter details since fire was discovered.

  • It’s for the e-passport system. Makes it quicker at airports etc. https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/smartg…

    It boosts your 5g chip in the brain. They're also not turning off 3g, but it also amplifies your ram via extra cloud storage

    RFID chips which are commonly used in biometric (e-passports) contain an antenna. Seems the antenna (which is used for receiving and transmitting signals), is being highlighted in the new R passport.

  • I thought there was an antenna in it already? I've used the tap and go style passport reader in the airport before.

    There is always a NFC chip and antenna in our E passport. They were previously on a separate page. It's thicker and feels. Like 2 pages being glued together. In there, there is a chip and a coil antenna looped around it, similar to those used in credit card.
    The new passport simply have the chip and antenna placed within the photo page and have the exposed antenna as part of the design.

    News Flash: NFC always requires an antenna to work! As does any radio frequency device!

    Your article highlights the dual functionality of the antenna being for NFC AND a unique security measure ;)
