1. A capacitance module, comprising:
a stack of layers, the stack including:
a first substrate; and
at least one capacitance sensing electrode on the first substrate; and
an antenna incorporated into the stack of layers, the antenna having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and an underside;
a magnetically conductive, electrically insulating material incorporated into the capacitance module;
at least a portion of the magnetically conductive, electrically insulating material is positioned adjacent to the underside of the antenna and is positioned adjacent at least one of the first side and the second side;
wherein the magnetically conductive, electrically insulating material is positioned between the antenna and the least one capacitance sensing electrode;
wherein the antenna, the at least capacitance sensing electrode, and the magnetically conductive electrically insulating material are on the same layer.
