First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electromagnetic transponder comprising:
- an oscillator configured to provide a signal in response to an electromagnetic field of a terminal; and
a processor configured to use the signal provided by the oscillator and variation of a load resistance on the oscillator to determine an authenticity of the terminal without demodulating the signal provided by the oscillator.
