Abstract
A near-field transmitter includes a power amplifier, a resonant network, an envelope detector, and an antenna tuning circuit. The power amplifier has an input for receiving a communication signal, and an output for providing a differential output signal. The resonant network is coupled to the output of the power amplifier and has a tunable reactive element tuned by a tuning signal. The envelope detector is coupled to the output of the power amplifier for providing an envelope signal in response to the differential output signal. The antenna tuning circuit is for adjusting the tuning signal in response to the envelope signal.
