Abstract

A data emission/reception device by inductive coupling includes an inductive antenna circuit in which an antenna signal appears, a mechanism configured to for extracting a first periodic signal from the antenna signal, a synchronous oscillator receiving the first periodic signal and supplying a second periodic signal, and an active load modulation circuit configured to apply bursts of the second periodic signal to the antenna circuit. The device is configured to place the oscillator in the synchronous oscillation mode before each application of a burst of the second periodic signal to the antenna circuit, then place the oscillator in the free oscillation mode.
