1. A method for operating a communications device that communicates via inductive coupling, the method comprising:

  • adjusting a phase configuration of the communications device in response to at least one system or environmental parameter, wherein the at least one system or environmental parameter comprises a distance information between the communications device and a counterpart device determined using a proximity sensor, wherein the proximity sensor is selected from one or more of the following;

    ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, laser sensor, camera sensor, light sensor, and audio sensor;

    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.
