Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for compensating for distortion of a contactless communication channel. The electronic device may include a radio frequency system that itself includes antenna to transmit and receive data using near-field communication (NFC) and an NFC signal processing circuitry. The NFC signal processing circuitry may receive an NFC signal via a communication channel formed between the electronic device and another electronic device and may determine a baseband reference waveform associated with the electromagnetic NFC signal and may determine an error between a portion of the electromagnetic NFC signal and the baseband reference waveform. Furthermore, the NFC signal processing circuitry may determine whether the error is outside of an acceptable error threshold range and, in response to the error being outside of the acceptable error threshold range, train a filter response of the NFC signal processing circuitry to estimate the communication channel.
