1. A circuit for demodulating a signal transmitted by an electromagnetic transponder, comprising:
- a sensor (7) of a variable which is a function of the load formed by the transponder on an oscillating circuit (L1, C1);
a phase demodulator (6) and an amplitude demodulator (22) at least functionally in parallel and receiving a signal coming from said sensor;
a summer (29) of the results provided by said demodulators; and
a delay element (31) in series with a first one of said demodulators, to compensate for a possible propagation time difference therebetween.

10. A method for demodulating a signal transmitted by an electromagnetic transponder consisting of:
-
measuring a variable which is a function of the load formed by the transponder on an oscillating circuit (L1, C1);
demodulating in phase the measured signal;
demodulating in amplitude the measured signal;
delaying a first result of at least one of the demodulations with respect to the other;
summing up the results of the two demodulations; and
regulating the delay brought to said first demodulation result according to the result of the sum integration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
