    Abstract: In a wireless near field communication (NFC) system, a target, such as a smart card, can communicate with an initiator, such as a card reader, by load modulating a radio frequency (RF) signal generated by the initiator. When two or more targets load modulate the RF signal generated, “collisions” can occur with the load modulation. Apparatus and methods detect the presence or absence of collisions in a lower layer or physical layer and report the presence of detected collisions to an upper layer for further handling.

    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, an initiator, such as a card reader, can communicate with a target, such as a smart card or other device emulating a smart card, by amplitude modulating a radio frequency signal. In a receiver, levels of samples of a digital baseband signal of the amplitude modulated signal can vary. Apparatus and methods associate a received sample with a hard or sliced output state (such as +1, 0, or −1) and update a value associated with the hard output state for accurate slicing of the samples. This permits the use of hard symbols in further processing rather than soft samples, which can dramatically reduce the complexity of circuitry.

    Abstract: A method for communication between near field communication (NFC) devices includes generating a transmission signal, an in-phase local oscillator signal, and a quadrature local oscillator signal from edges of an input clock signal. The method further includes mixing a load modulated signal with the in-phase local oscillator signal to generate an in-phase baseband signal. The method further includes mixing the load modulated signal with the quadrature local oscillator signal to generate a quadrature baseband signal. The method further includes adjusting a phase delay of at least one of the in-phase local oscillator signal or the quadrature local oscillator signal in response to a first signal strength of the in-phase baseband signal and a second signal strength of the quadrature baseband signal.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for an adaptive demodulator that supports multiple modes. An FM signal may be received at a demodulator and parameters corresponding to the FM signal may be identified. Connections between multiple modules within the demodulator may be configured, based at least in part on the parameters, to select one of multiple demodulation modes supported by the demodulator to demodulate the FM signal. The modes may include a phase differencing mode, a phase-locked loop (PLL) mode, a frequency-compressive feedback (FCF) mode, and/or a quadrature detector mode. The parameters may include one or both of a signal strength of the FM signal and a maximum frequency deviation of the FM signal. Based on the parameters, one or more signals may be generated to configure the connections within the demodulator. A switch from one mode to another may occur when one of the parameters breaches a threshold value.
