Fully integrated transceiver module with a temperature compensation for high bit rate contactless smart card

Abstract Contactless smart card has been applied in various applications, including electronic transaction and personal identification. These applications particularly require a big data transfer, as compared to other applications. Hence, it is very important that the card supports a high-speed data transfer rate. In this paper, we propose a design of a fully integrated transceiver module for contactless smart card that supports a high bit rate data communication, up to 848 kbps. Furthermore, to increase the stability and security of the card, the module is also designed to compensate the applied temperature variation, ranging from −25 to 125 °C.
