Validation of the presence of an electromagnetic transponder in the field of a phase demodulation reader
First Claim
11. A system for determining whether at least one transponder is present in an electromagnetic field generated by an oscillating circuit, comprising:
- a first circuit to measure at least one present value of at least one electrical property of the oscillating circuit; and
a second circuit to compare the at least one present value with at least one previously measured value of the at least one electrical property that was measured when no transponder was present in the electromagnetic field.

Abstract
A terminal for generating an electromagnetic field adapted to communicating with at least one transponder, and a method for controlling such a terminal including: an oscillating circuit adapted to being excited by a remote supply signal of the transponder; a phase demodulator for detecting possible data transmitted by the transponder; circuitry for regulating the signal phase in the terminal'"'"'s oscillating circuit on a reference value; circuitry for measuring variables linked to the current in the oscillating circuit and to the voltage thereacross; and circuitry for comparing current values of these variables with predetermined values, to determine the presence of a transponder.

- 18. The system of claim 17, wherein a second of the at least one electrical property corresponds to a current in the oscillating circuit.
-
19-1. The method of claim 18, wherein the first circuit is operative to measure a present value of the first electrical property and to measure a present value of the second electrical property, and
wherein the second circuit is operative to compare a value of a ratio of the present values of the first electrical property and the second electrical property to a ratio of a previously measured value of the first electrical property and a previously measured value of the second electrical property.
