    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling are described. In an embodiment, a method for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling involves adjusting a configuration of the communications device in response to a clock signal that is synchronized to a received clock signal, obtaining information that corresponds to transmission current or power generated in response to the adjusted configuration, and quantifying a detuning condition in response to the obtained information. Other embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for operating a communications device are described. In one embodiment, a method for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling involves adjusting a phase configuration of the communications device in response to at least one system or environmental parameter, modulating a carrier signal with the adjusted phase configuration using active load modulation (ALM), and transmitting the modulated carrier signal from the communications device for inductive coupling. In some embodiments, the at least one system or environmental parameter is selected from one or more of the following: a distance information, a geometric information, a system code, a technology code, a transmitter current and/or a transmitter power, a detuning condition, a quality factor and a resonant frequency of a resonant system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling are described. In an embodiment, a method for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling involves detecting a system condition associated with the communications device and tuning a matching network of the communications device in response to the system condition, where the matching network includes a hybrid transformer that separates a receiver of the communications device from a transmitter of the communications device. Other embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to auto-sweeping impedance-matching circuitry that matches an impedance of an RF antenna. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a transmitter that is configured and arranged to transmit signals to remote devices via the RF antenna, is used to communicate a plurality of test signals to the impedance-matching circuitry, with each test signal having a designated frequency and/or test signal pattern that is different than the designated frequency and/or test signal pattern of the other test signals. A characteristic of each of the test signals as passed through the impedance-matching circuitry is detected. For each of the test signals generated for the auto-sweep, the detected characteristic is compared to an expected characteristic for the test signal, and an output indicative of compliance of the impedance-matching circuitry with a design specification is generated and transmitted in response to the comparison.

    Abstract: This specification discloses methods and systems providing reader-mode performance enhancement for operating a device that communicates via inductive coupling. In reader-mode, Tx (transmitter) power of a reader device is maximized even though for some tags, the communication distance is limited by Rx (receiver) sensitivity. Therefore, power is wasted. Even worse, a too highly boosted Tx power demands a high Rx dynamic range and consequently a low Rx sensitivity. In turn, the communication distance may even be degraded by a too highly boosted Tx power. Therefore, in some embodiments, reader-mode performance enhancement is based on backing off Tx (transmitter) power when not needed (energy distance>communication distance) to save power and/or to relax reader-mode Rx (receiver) sensitivity requirements. In some embodiments, the backing off of Tx (transmitter) is also based on a sensor determining a geometric position/location of a reader device relative to a tag-mode device.
