What should be the size of an NFC antenna given an operating distance?

I am dealing with a project about a PCB with NFC antenna. We are designing PCB now. Do anyone know about the size of an NFC antenna if we want it operate in 10 centimeters?

NFC Type 4 can operate within a distance of 10 centimeters. NFC, which is compatible with ISO 15693 that is capable of  NFC phones, can operate within a distance of 100 centimeters.    

The size of an NFC antenna is related to

  • The antenna size at the tag.
  • The size of the antenna at the NFC reader.
