[solved] Use acr122u as 13.56MHz antenna?

Hi all,
Just wondering whether it is possible to use acr122u as a 13.56 MHz Antenna for pm3.
I understand that acr122u is designed to work individually. Since it does a good job reading and writing at 13.56Mhz, I suppose its antenna could work with pm3. But acr122u comes with USB Type A instead of 4 pin connector, so I’m not sure how I can connect acr122u to the antenna connector on pm3.  Has anyone tried this? Did it work? How many volts did it reach?
Thanks in advance!

You need to take the antenna "out of" the acr122u.
Open it and have a look inside. Is it a PCB printed antenna?

Have a look here, that will give you a decent antenna.
Or here if you want to go hardcore level.

Thanks! I successfully took the antenna out of acr122u and made a 4 pin connector for it. It works fine with my pm3.
