Abstract:
A circuit arrangement is provided, having an antenna, a first circuit coupled to the antenna and configured to receive an antenna signal, which contains first data, and to process the antenna signal, as a result of which it produces a processed antenna signal having a different voltage level than that of the antenna signal. The first data are data transmitted from a communication device to the arrangement. The arrangement further includes a second circuit coupled to the first circuit via a wire-based interface. The first circuit is configured to transmit the processed antenna signal to the second circuit by a first channel of the wire-based interface and the second circuit is configured to transmit second data to the first circuit by a second channel of the wire-based interface. The first channel and the second channel are different. The second data are configuration data for configuring the first circuit.
