Abstract: Method for controlling an input signal for a contactless transponder, in which a signal strength of an amplitude-modulated input signal is controlled to a nominal value, and identification of a modulation gap by a demodulation device involves control for a controller gain at the time before the modulation gap being stipulated, and identification of the end of the modulation gap involves the control being released after a predetermined interval.

Abstract: Two capacitors are provided for demodulating an amplitude-modulated signal and can be supplied with a signal that is rectified by a diode and that is at a voltage. The half-cycles of this signal are used for alternately charging the first or second capacitor using a switch. The capacitors are discharged using switches. Comparing the amplitude values, which are stored in the capacitors, of successive half-cycles in an evaluation unit allows simple and precise demodulation, which can be achieved with few components and can be carried out at very high frequencies.

Abstract: The invention provides a circuit configuration for demodulating a voltage that is ASK modulated by altering the amplitude between a low level and a high level. In this case, a first and a second charging circuit each produce a charging voltage and decoupling device decouples the first charging circuit when there is a prescribed ratio between the charging voltage of the second charging circuit and an input voltage for the rectifier circuit.

Abstract: A contactless data storage medium has at least two antennas, in each case for different transmission bands. This makes it possible to configure a data storage medium such that it can be operated with read/write units that operate in accordance with different standards. At least two of the antennas form a unit, so that a configuration such as this can be produced at very low cost.

Abstract: In order to shorten an access time and thus to shorten the entire data processing time, a sector size of a memory device is adapted to respective applications. Each application is assigned a respective sector. The access right is checked only once for each application.
