DETERMINING INITIAL TRANSMISSION PHASE OFFSET IN AN NFC DEVICE

There is described a method of determining an initial transmission phase offset in an NFC device configured to operate in NFC card mode only, wherein the NFC device comprises an NFC chip and a matching circuit. The method comprises: determining an initial RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device utilizing an internal oscillator of the NFC chip; reading correction data from a non-volatile memory of the NFC chip, the correction data being indicative of a frequency offset of the internal oscillator relative to a nominal oscillator frequency; determining a corrected RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device based on the initial RF matching resonance frequency and the correction data; and determining the initial transmission phase offset based on the corrected RF matching resonance frequency. Furthermore, a device and a method of manufacturing an NFC device are described.
