Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an NFC device configured for wireless power transfer, the NFC device comprising an antenna, a frontend circuit coupled to the antenna, a microcontroller coupled to the frontend circuit, the microcontroller comprising an analog-to-digital converter. The analog-to-digital converter is configured to receive an analog amplitude and/or phase signal from the frontend circuit, and to convert the analog signal into a digital signal. The microcontroller is configured to process the digital signal in order to detect a variation in the amplitude and/or phase of the analog signal, so as to detect a change of impedance within the field of the NFC device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a modified NFC framing is used by a reader and selected devices during at least a part of the communication between the reader and the selected devices. The reader and the selected devices store modification rules for modifying the frames. Devices not storing those modification rules will discard the received modified frames.

Abstract: A Near Field Communication (NFC) reader can wirelessly cooperate with a rectangular prism-shaped transponder having an NFC transponder antenna. The NFC reader includes an NFC controller, a matching network coupled to the NFC controller, and a receptacle capable of at least partially holding the transponder. The receptacle has a bottom wall, a lateral wall and a shape designed such that the transponder cannot be placed in the receptacle in a direction where the NFC transponder antenna is parallel to the bottom wall. The receptacle includes first and second NFC reader antennas located in two non-parallel parts of the lateral wall and a connection coupling the first and second reader antennas to the matching network.

Abstract: An embodiment method comprises transmitting a reader carrier signal from a contactless reader to a contactless device, receiving by the reader, a device modulated carrier signal from the device, the device modulated carrier signal having a carrier frequency, preferably turning off by the reader, the transmission of the reader carrier signal during reception of the device modulated carrier signal, and after having turned off the transmission of the reader carrier signal, determining by the reader the presence or the absence at the reader's antenna of a modulated carrier signal having at the reader's antenna the carrier frequency with a tolerance, without relying on the data content of the modulated carrier signal.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a back cover, a display, a middle frame sandwiched between the display and the back cover, and a near field communications (NFC) antenna incorporated within the middle frame. An electronic board is positioned within the middle frame, and includes an NFC controller and a matching network coupled to the NFC controller. The matching network is configured to match impedances between the NFC antenna and the NFC controller.
