A method for manufacture of an electronic interface card including defining a pair of apertures in a substrate layer, associating an antenna with the substrate layer such that opposite ends of the antenna terminate at the apertures, placing a metal element in each of the apertures, connecting the ends of the antenna to the metal elements, laminating the substrate layer together with a top layer and a bottom layer, forming a recess in the top layer and the substrate layer, attaching ends of connection wires to the metal elements, attaching opposite ends of the connection wires to a chip module and sealing the chip module in the recess.
