Abstract: In described examples, a method of inductive coupled communications includes providing a first resonant tank (first tank) and a second resonant tank (second tank) tuned to essentially the same resonant frequency, each having antenna coils and switches positioned for changing a Q and a bandwidth of their tank. The antenna coils are separated by a distance that provides near-field communications. The first tank is driven to for generating induced oscillations to transmit a predetermined number of carrier frequency cycles providing data. After the predetermined number of cycles, a switch is activated for widening the bandwidth of the first tank. Responsive to the oscillations in the first tank, the second tank begins induced oscillations. Upon detecting a bit associated with the induced oscillations, a switch is activated for widening the bandwidth of the second tank and a receiver circuit receiving an output of the second tank is reset.
