Abstract

A data carrier, such as a smart card, has a coil for contactless reception of data and energy and for contactless transmission of data. A logic circuit processes the received, demodulated and decoded data. A first demodulator for demodulating received 100%-ASK-modulated signals and a second demodulator for demodulating received ASK-modulated signals with a modulation depth of less than 100% are provided. The second demodulator is triggered by the first demodulator in such a way that on reception of a 100%-ASK-modulated signal, it is deactivated by the first demodulator.
