Abstract:
A method of characterizing a contactless transmission element (100) is provided, wherein the method comprises sampling a first value of a first physical parameter indicating a property of a contactless transmission element (100), and determining an interference reliability value for the contactless transmission element (100) based on the sampled first value of the first physical parameter. In particular, this interference reliability value may relate to a liability of the contactless transmission element (100) to an external field or to external influences.
