Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for determining the distance separating an electromagnetic transponder from a terminal generating a magnetic field by a first oscillating circuit, the transponder including a second oscillating circuit, upstream of a rectifying circuit adapted to providing a D.C. voltage. The method includes storing a first information relative to the level of the D.C. voltage when the second oscillating circuit is tuned on a determined frequency; storing a second information relative to the level of the D.C. voltage after having caused a frequency detuning of the second oscillating circuit; and comparing the two stored pieces of information.
