1. A system for a baseband near field magnetic stripe data transmitter comprising:

  • a mobile phone comprising a payment wallet application and being configured to transmit a stream of pulses comprising magnetic stripe data of a payment card;

    a magnetic stripe transmission (MST) device comprising a driver and an inductor, wherein the MST device is configured to receive the stream of pulses from the mobile phone, to amplify and shape the received stream of pulses and to generate and emit high energy magnetic pulses comprising the magnetic stripe data;

    wherein the emitted high energy magnetic pulses are configured to be picked up remotely by a magnetic read head; and

    wherein the inductor comprises one or more windings, at wherein said one or more windings are configured to generate magnetic flux lines that are spread over a large enough area dimensioned to include a sensing aperture of the magnetic read head and to generate an inductance value that is configured to cause properly timed current pulses to reach their maximum value and thereby to cause maximum induced voltage in the magnetic react head.
