Abstract
A modem which is to be included in a badge or mobile station, in a system for the exchange of data by microwaves with a fixed station or beacon. The modem has at least one transistor that works as a detector in reception or as an amplifier for the transmission of a reflection signal, according to gate bias voltages (V.sub.gs0, V.sub.gs1) that are applied to it, and drain currents (I.sub.ds) that result therefrom. The transmission-reception switching is done by transistors that switch over loads, and hence currents, on an amplifier transistor, with amplitude or phase modulation. Such a modem may find particular application in short-distance telecommunication systems.
