Abstract

A contactless chip card includes a circuit for detecting the presence of radio frequency signals. A detector comprises at least one circuit for detecting the presence of radio signals by making direct use of the corresponding signals received by an antenna winding. In addition, a phase-shift detector detects the relative phase differences between signals provided by the antenna winding.
