    摘要: Tuning an antenna circuit of an actively transmitting tag to a frequency of an interrogator carrier signal after the tag was inserted into a host device is accomplished by detecting presence of the interrogator carrier signal at a location of the actively transmitting tag and hereafter setting capacitances of capacitors and/or inductances of coils comprised in said antenna circuit in a way that resonance of said antenna circuit is established while the antenna circuit is excited by a magnetic field of said interrogator carrier signal. This allows automatic tuning of an antenna circuit of an actively transmitting tag after it was inserted together with a miniature card into a host device, such as a mobile telephone, personal digital assistant, tablet PC and similar devices.

    摘要: A circuit includes an antenna circuit including a number of capacitors and an inductor. The antenna circuit is configured to transmit an output signal upon receiving an input transmit signal. A first control block is configured to transmit an enabling signal upon detecting a presence of a supply voltage at a feeding terminal of the actively transmitting tag in response to the actively transmitting tag being inserted into a host device. A VCO is configured to generate the input transmit signal with the frequency of the interrogator carrier signal upon receiving the enabling signal from the first control block and upon receiving the control voltage from the memory. A second control block is configured to enable a subset of the plurality of capacitors of the antenna circuit upon receiving the enabling signal from the first control block.
