Patent GB-2491883-A (GB)
Title: Suppressing the carrier in a received near field communications signal
Inventor: SHEIKHOLESLAMI BEHZAD
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 2011-06-16
Abstract: In a near field communications (NFC) receiver (10) an NFC signal, comprising a carrier signal onto which a data signal is modulated, is received. The received signal is digitised and downconverted, and the digitised and downconverted received signal is filtered to recover a digitised and downconverted version of the carrier signal of the NFC signal. This digitised and downconverted version of the carrier signal is converted into an analogue signal which is then upconverted to generate an estimate of the carrier signal, and this estimate is combined with the received NFC signal to suppress or negate, at least partially, the carrier of the received signal.
