In a receiving method for the contactless reception of identification information (I1,12), which is stored in a data carrier (3, 3′) and which can be received from the data carrier (3, 3) in a contactless manner in the form of information units (IU, IU′) with a communication device (2), it is envisaged that firstly an information unit (R.IU) is received and that secondly it is detected that the received information unit (R.IU) represents a collision of two different information units (IU, IU′) occurring essentially simultaneously, of which two different information units (IU, IU′) the one information unit (IU) originates from a first data carrier (3) and the other information unit (IU′) originates from a second data carrier (3′), and that thirdly a received information unit (R.IU) that represents a collision is replaced with a first replacement information unit (R.IU1) established by the communication device (2), which is used instead of the information unit (R.IU) representing the collision, as the information unit (IU) that originates from the first data carrier (3), and that fourthly, the first replacement information unit (R.IU1) is delivered in a contactless manner.
Abstract:
In a method for the determination of disconnection time information (DTI) significant for an inadequate power supply of an integrated circuit (2) of a data carrier (1) such as an RFID-tag. The disconnection time information (DTI) is determined on the basis of the discharge behavior of a first storage capacitor (C1), which is affected by the IC material and by radiation, and the determined disconnection time information (DTI) is corrected in dependence on the effects of the IC material and/or on at least one radiation effect.

An RFID reader (1, 1′) comprises a signal generator (2) for generating high frequency electrical signals (ES) and an antenna (3) to which the high frequency electrical signals (ES) are feedable in a symmetric mode. The RFID reader (1) further comprises tuning means (4, 4′) for maintaining the antenna (3) in a symmetric operating mode, wherein the tuning means (4, 4′) are controllable in dependency of varying coupling impedances (CG) occurring between the antenna (3) and its environment (G).

Abstract:
A transmission and receiving device for contact data transmission between the device and a transponder. The transmission and receiving device has an antenna resonant circuit, a synchronous demodulator, a measuring unit, a control unit, and a reference signal generator. In operation, the device and the transponder are inductively coupled to each other through the antenna resonance circuit of the device and an antenna resonance circuit in the transponder. In response to an interrogation by the device, the transponder sends a load modulated digital signal to the device. The synchronous demodulator detects digital response data contained in the load modulated digital signal. The measuring unit measures a phase shift between a reference signal generated by the reference signal generator and a resonance signal generated in the antenna resonance circuit in the device by the sent load modulated digital signal. The control unit controls the synchronous demodulator such that the synchronous demodulator changes its demodulation mode between amplitude demodulation and phase demodulation, in dependence of the measured phase shift.
