ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed herein for tuning a responder unit (12). The method comprises the steps of storing energy in a responder unit energy accumulator (136) in a contactless fashion by RF energy transmitted from the interrogator unit (10) to the responder unit (12), and exciting within the responder unit (12) an RF carrier wave. The method further comprises the steps of transmitting the RF carrier wave in a first response from the responder unit (12) to the interrogator unit (10) and measuring within the interrogator unit (10) the received signal strength of the RF carrier wave of the first response. In further accordance with the invention tuning data may be transmitted to the responder unit (12) by sending at least one RF programming sequence from the interrogator unit (10) to the responder unit (12). The responder unit (12) upon receiving the RF programming sequence from the interrogator unit (10) would preferably modify an internally stored frequency setting within a memory (244) of the responder unit (12) in response to the first set of data. Other devices, systems and methods are also disclosed.
