1-1. Antenna Specifications
The two antennas are used. One is large and the other is small. Both the antennas are located inside the front panel of a video cassette
recorder. The large antenna reads the data that is transmitted from the memory chip when a cassette tape is brought closer to the video
cassette recorder. The small antenna reads the data from the memory chip when a cassette tape is inserted to the video cassette recorder.
recorder. The large antenna reads the data that is transmitted from the memory chip when a cassette tape is brought closer to the video
cassette recorder. The small antenna reads the data from the memory chip when a cassette tape is inserted to the video cassette recorder.

2-1. Transmission Circuit
The operation using the small antenna is described in the parenthesis ( ) below.
• The differential amplifier that consists of Q901 and Q902 (Q911 and Q913), drives the antenna.
• The modulated 13.56 MHz carriers having the opposite polarities each other, are supplied from IC901 pin@£ and pin@¶ (pin@ª and pin#¡)
• The modulated 13.56 MHz carriers having the opposite polarities each other, are supplied from IC901 pin@£ and pin@¶ (pin@ª and pin#¡)
respectively.
• Q901 (Q911) provides the output signal that swings in the range of 4 V to 20 V at the Q901 (Q911) collector due to L900 (L902).
• Q902 (Q913) provides the output signal that swings in the range of 4 V to 20 V at the Q902 (Q913) collector due to L901 (L903).
• Q902 (Q913) provides the output signal that swings in the range of 4 V to 20 V at the Q902 (Q913) collector due to L901 (L903).
• Connect CH-1 of an oscilloscope to CN900 pin3 and CH-2 to CN900 pin2.
• Set CH-2 of an oscilloscope to INV.
• Set MODE of an oscilloscope to ADD.
• Set CH-2 of an oscilloscope to INV.
• Set MODE of an oscilloscope to ADD.

• Amplitude of the output signal is doubled by the differential amplifier so that the output signal having amplitude of 42 V drives the antenna
because the carrier signals having the opposite polarities are supplied to Q901 (Q911) and Q902 (Q913) respectively.
