Abstract

A circuit capable of automatically calibrating a resonant frequency of an antenna includes the antenna, a switch, a conversion unit, a count comparator, and a capacitor array. The switch is coupled to the antenna for being turned on and turned off according to a pulse. The antenna is used for generating the resonant frequency according to on and off of the switch. The conversion unit is coupled to the antenna for generating a clock according to a signal with the resonant frequency. The count comparator is coupled to the conversion unit for counting a number generated by a reference clock during a period of the clock, and comparing the pulse number with a predetermined value to generate an adjustment signal. The capacitor array is used for adjusting capacitance of the capacitor array according to the adjustment signal.
