  • Patent number: 9209759
    Abstract: A method includes generating an input voltage for an operational amplifier from a received electromagnetic signal in a receiver unit by an input resistance and generating an output voltage by the operational amplifier by a fixed amplification factor. The input voltage is changed until the output voltage lies within a predefined interval that includes the value of the reference voltage. The input voltage is tapped at a divider node of a voltage divider. The gate voltage of the MOS transistor, operating within a nonlinear range and connected to the divider node, is changed to adjust the output voltage to the reference voltage such that a forward resistance of the transistor is changed nonlinearly. A field strength value received by the receiver unit is determined from a comparison of the value of the present gate voltage with quantities assigned to stored gate voltage values.

  • Patent number: 6970679
    Abstract: A method detects relaying of a contactless data communication by a radio amplifier for intercepting and manipulating the communication to achieve an unauthorized authentication. The method involves transmitting an electromagnetic field successively from at least two spatially separated antennas of a transmitting unit, receiving the transmitted fields in a receiving unit, determining field strength vectors of the received fields allocated to each antenna, and comparing actual values of the vectors with prescribed nominal values stored in a nominal value field that maps the true field strength distribution in multi-dimensional space around the transmitting unit. The actual field strength magnitude and the reception angle between the transmitting antennas can be determined from the vectors and compared with stored nominal values in this manner. When the determined actual values match prescribed nominal values of the nominal value field, the occurrence of a relaying of the signal can be reliably excluded.

  • Patent number: 6922553
    Abstract: A receiving unit including an operational amplifier having a fixed gain receives an electromagnetic signal, from which a voltage divider with a variable resistance generates an input voltage for the amplifier. The amplifier's output voltage is compared with a reference voltage. The variable input resistance is adjusted to vary the amplifier's input voltage, until the amplifier's output voltage lies within a defined range around the reference voltage. This adjusted resistance value is compared with nominal resistance values previously stored in a value field and respectively allocated to field strength values, to determine a field strength of the received signal. A circuit arrangement includes an operational amplifier, a memory unit connected to a processor unit, a first voltage divider, a second voltage divider, and a control element that controls the second voltage divider to provide the controlled variable input resistance.
