Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method can be performed by a first active near-field communication (NFC) device. The method includes assuming a field detection mode, generating an advertisement pulse, and checking whether a predefined condition is fulfilled. If the checking determines that the predefined condition is fulfilled, the method includes assuming an active mode and communicating with an adjacent active NFC device, and, if the checking does not determine that the predefined condition is fulfilled, the method includes staying in the field detection mode and generating another advertisement pulse.

Abstract: A method for a phase calibration in a frontend circuit of a near field communication (NFC) tag device is disclosed. An active load modulation signal is generated with a preconfigured value of a phase difference with respect to a reference signal of an NFC signal generator device. An amplitude of a test signal present at an antenna of the NFC tag device is measured. The test signal results from overlaying of the reference signal with the active load modulation signal. The following steps are repeated: modifying the value of the phase difference, providing the active load modulation signal with the modified value of the phase difference, measuring an amplitude of the test signal and comparing the measured amplitude with the previously measured amplitude until the measured amplitude fulfills a predefined condition. The value of the phase difference corresponding to the previously measured amplitude is stored.
