Resistive and capacitive modulation in an electromagnetic transponder
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communicating with a transponder proximate to a terminal, the method comprising:
- A) at a start of a communication session with the transponder, determining a communication configuration for the terminal, the communication configuration comprising particular modulation scheme to be used by the terminal for communicating with the transponder;
B) determining an indicator for the communication configuration, the indicator identifying a particular arrangement of circuit elements of the transponder to produce the particular modulation scheme for signals transmitted from the transponder; and
C) transmitting to the transponder the indicator for the communication configuration.

Abstract
The selection of at least one back-modulation element of an electromagnetic transponder from among a plurality of resistive and/or capacitive modulation elements of the load of an oscillating circuit of the transponder, including selecting the modulation element(s) according to a binary message received from a read/write terminal.
