    Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes transmitting frames from a transponder to a reader and synchronizing between a reader carrier frequency and an active load modulation (ALM) carrier frequency within each transmitted frame. Each transmitted frame includes ALM carrier bursts generated from subcarrier modulation by binary phase shift keying (BPSK) data encoding and producing signal oscillations at a transponder antenna after each ALM carrier burst generation, The synchronizing occurs at each phase change of the data encoding when no burst is generated during a half period of the subcarrier preceding the phase change and a half period of the subcarrier following this phase change. The transponder antenna has a moderate quality factor sufficient to naturally damp the signal oscillations so that the synchronizing is performed without performing any controlled signal oscillations damping.

    Abstract: A method for managing a signal transmission emitted by a wireless transponder to a reader is provided in which the signal transmission uses an active load modulation and includes transmitted bursts separated by pause periods. Each transmitted burst includes transmitted pulses. The method includes performing an active damping operation at the end of the transmitted bursts in the beginning of the pause periods, and the active damping operation includes transmitting a number of additional pulses having a phase opposite to the phase of the transmitted pulses. The transmitted pulses power, the additional pulses power, and the number of additional pulses are controlled based on a distance between the reader and the wireless transponder and on reference values of the transmitted pulses power, the additional pulses power, and the number respectively associated with reference distances.
