Abstract

A near field communication (NFC) device includes a resonance unit and an NFC chip. The resonance unit emits an electromagnetic wave to communicate data with an external NFC card in a reader mode. The NFC chip estimates a distance between the resonance unit and the external NFC card based on an antenna voltage generated by the resonance unit while the resonance unit emits the electromagnetic wave, and adjusts a magnitude of the electromagnetic wave based on the estimated distance.
