Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enhancing a signal for load modulation from reading a smartcard. According to such methods, an antenna signal is generated by transceiver circuitry. An antenna signal field associated with the antenna signal can be transmitted. A reference signal that is substantially constant in amplitude and phase and substantially in phase with a carrier frequency of the antenna signal can be generated. A modulated antenna signal can be received. The modulated antenna signal can include the antenna signal that has been modulated as a result of the presence of a smartcard within the antenna signal field. The reference signal can be subtracted from the modulated antenna signal to produce a resultant signal. The resultant signal may be provided to receiving circuitry of the transceiver circuitry.
