1. An electromagnetic transponder including:
- an oscillating circuit upstream of a rectifying means adapted to provide a D.C. supply voltage to an electronic circuit including means for transmitting digitally-coded information, and means for detuning said oscillating circuit with respect to a determined frequency when the transponder has to transmit information while the transponder is very close to a read/write terminal, the rate of transmission of said information in the detuned configuration being higher than the data transmission rate in a tuned configuration of the oscillating circuit.

11. A transponder for use with a base station, wherein the transponder receives base station signals from the base station and transmits information to the base station, comprising:
-
a resonant circuit that receives base station signals;
at least one first circuit that detunes the resonant circuit; and
at least one second circuit that alters a characteristic of the resonant circuit to transmit information;
wherein a rate of transmission of information is higher when the at least one first circuit detunes the resonant circuit than a rate of transmission of information when the at least one first circuit ;
does not detune the resonant circuit.- View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for transmitting data from a transponder to a base station, wherein the transponder has an oscillating circuit, comprising:
-
detuning the oscillating circuit with respect to a determined frequency when the transponder is close to the base station; and
transmitting data from the transponder to the base station, wherein a rate of transmission of the data while the oscillating circuit is detuned is greater than a rate of transmission of data while the oscillating circuit is tuned.
