Abstract

A method for modulating the impedance of an antenna circuit supplying pump signals to a charge pump comprising at least one first pump stage and one last pump stage, the last pump stage supplying a continuous voltage. The output of the first pump stage is short-circuited by means of a switch and the last pump stage goes on pumping electric charges and supplying the continuous voltage. Application in particular to RFID passive transponders.
