    Abstract: A transceiver that implements a high dynamic range NFC reader mode receiver may include a transmitter circuit to generate a transmit (TX) signal for communication to a first device via an antenna. The transceiver may further include a receiver circuit that is in communication with the first device via the antenna. The receiver circuit includes a mixer circuit and an adder circuit. The mixer circuit mixes a carrier signal with a first signal to generate a baseband signal. The adder circuit is coupled to the antenna and produces the first signal by adding a receive (RX) signal with a second signal to reduce a component of the TX signal included in the RX signal. The second signal is produced by processing a TX clock signal generated by the transmitter circuit.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for NFC communication with a second device includes an antenna and a processor configured to transmit a pulse signal for detection of another device within proximity of the device, and to detect, in conjunction with transmission of the pulse signal, that a first value of a measurement parameter of the antenna satisfies an initial detection factor. The processor is further configured, in response to the detection, to set a confirmation detection factor for the measurement parameter of the antenna based at least in part on the first value of the measurement parameter of the antenna, to transmit a confirmation pulse signal, and to initiate a second polling for reception of data from the other device when a second value of the measurement parameter of the antenna detected in conjunction with transmission of the confirmation pulse signal satisfies the confirmation detection factor.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for NFC communication includes a processor configured to receive, from an other device, pulse signals for detecting proximity of the device with the other device. The processor is further configured to determine an interval at which the pulse signals are received from the other device. The processor is further configured to determine a time when the other device is expected to transmit a subsequent pulse signal based at least in part on the determined interval. The processor is further configured to transmit a signal to the other device based on the determined time when the other device is expected to transmit the subsequent pulse signal.
