Figure 4.33 shows the locus curve for Z T (C 2 ) in the complex impedance plane. As
expected, the locus curve obtained is the circle in the complex Z plane that is typical
of a parallel resonant circuit. Let us now consider the extreme values for C 2 :
C 2 = 1 TX L 2 : The resonant frequency of the transponder in this case precisely
corresponds with the transmission frequency of the reader (see equation (4.25)).
The current i 2 in the transponder coil reaches a maximum at this value due to
resonance step-up and is real. Because Z T jωM · i 2 the value for impedance Z T
also reaches a maximum — the locus curve intersects the real axis in the complex
Z plane. The following applies: | Z T (C 2 ) | max =| Z T (C 2 = 1 TX ) 2
· L 2 ) | .
C 2 = 1 2 L 2 : If the capacitance C 2 is less than or greater than C 2 = 1 TX L 2 then
the resonant frequency of the transponder will be detuned and will vary significantly
from the transmission frequency of the reader. The polarity of the current i 2 in the
resonant circuit of the transponder varies when the resonant frequency is exceeded,
