A couple of pointers: Automatic Gain Control circuis (typuically in the phone chip) can be very susceptible - essentially they change gain with the 1 kHz rythm from the applied RF field. Decouple/filter them and as Robert pointed out - keep small loop areas on the PCB. Electret microphones, actually a transistor in the mic, can also be susceptible. The handset cable picks up the field, delivers RF to the mic, where it gets demodulated, and then the demodulated audio noise is fed back to the mic circuit on the phone. Neven
