ISO/IEC 14443 Type B frame are an inverted 16-bit

CRC of the preceding data characters generated

according to the CRC-16-CCITT polynomial. This CRC

is transmitted with the LSB first. For more details on the

CRC-16-CCITT, refer to ISO/IEC 14443-3, Annex B.

With network function commands, the command code,

parameters, and response are embedded between

SOF and CRC. With memory function commands, com-

mand code, and parameters are placed into the infor-

mation field of I-blocks (see the

Block Types section),

which in turn are embedded between SOF and EOF.

For transmission, the frame information is modulated on

a carrier frequency, which in the case of ISO/IEC 14443

is 13.56MHz. The subsequent paragraphs are a con-

cise description of the required modulation and coding.

For full details including SOF/EOF and subcarrier on/off

timing, refer to ISO/IEC 14443-3, Sections 7.1 and 7.2.

The path from master to slave uses amplitude modula-

tion with a modulation index between 8% and 14%

(Figure 8). In this direction, a START bit and logic 0 bit

correspond to a modulated carrier; STOP bit and

logic 1 bit correspond to the unmodulated carrier. EOF

ends with an unmodulated carrier instead of STOP bits.
