Contactless 101: Coding data for transmission via radio waves
So just how does the modulating of radio waves enable data transmission? The answer is found in the concept of coding. Coding refers to a modulation pattern that is understood and shared by both a transponder and a receiver. Like Morse code–the series of dots and dashes used to transmit data in the past– radio frequency coding relies on two states to indicate binary data. The states can be thought of as modulated and un-modulated, though different coding schemes encode data into the modulating states in different manners.
