Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007028866A1] The invention relates to a method of modulating the impedance of an antenna circuit (ACT, W1, W2) which supplies pumping signals (S1, S2) to a charge pump (PMP) comprising at least a first pumping stage (D1, D2, C1, C2) and a last pumping stage (D5, D6, C5, C6), said last pumping stage supplying a DC voltage (Vcc). According to the invention, the output from the first pumping stage (D1, D2, C1, C2) is short-circuited by means of a switch (SW1) and the last pumping stage continues to pump the electric charges and to supply the DC voltage (Vcc). The invention is particularly suitable for RFID passive transponders.
