What is VHD?
VHD is a research project focused on the high speed air interface and IC architecture for contactless smartcards and Near Field Communication (NFC). The project consortium consists of NXP Semiconductors, the Technical University of Graz, the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences and the Alpen Adria University in Klagenfurt.
This project breaks the actual limitations of contactless smartcard and NFC applications in terms of low transaction time. Therefore radically innovative transceiver concepts on the one hand side as well as new IC architectures on card and reader side will be investigated, opening up an enormous new variety of next generation applications - e-passports with a variety of biometric data, e-health cards or multimedia applications for NFC will be enabled
