Abstract:
A method for inductively coupled communication is described. The method includes applying a carrier signal at a carrier frequency to an antenna circuit. The antenna circuit includes an antenna and a matching network that resonate at a resonant frequency. The method also includes measuring a looped-back signal over a range of impedance values. The looped-back signal includes the carrier signal received by a receiver coupled to the antenna circuit. The method further includes setting a calibrated impedance as an impedance configuration that produces a resonance peak in the looped-back signal.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to mitigating an antenna over-coupling condition in near field communication (NFC) devices. A transmission signal for a transmitted carrier is generated at a transmit circuit of an initiator NFC device, and a received carrier is received at a receive circuit of the initiator NFC device. The initiator NFC device can detect an antenna over-coupling condition related to antenna coupling with a remote NFC device based at least in part on the transmission signal and the received carrier. Where the condition is detected, at least one of a transmit circuit parameter for the transmit circuit or a receive circuit parameter of the receive circuit is modified to reduce the antenna over-coupling condition
