In order to transmit data between two NFC interfaces in active mode, at first one of the NFC interfaces activates its transmitter and thus works as the NFC initiator. The high-frequency current that flows in the antenna induces an alternating magnetic field H which spreads around the antenna loop. Part of the induced magnetic field moves through the antenna loop of the other NFC interface which is located close by. Then a voltage U is induced in the antenna loop and can be detected by the receiver of the other NFC interface. If the NFC interface receives signals and the corresponding commands of an NFC initiator, this NFC interface automatically adopts the roll of an NFC target.
