Proprietary Go Card Technology
Cubic's primary contactless product is proprietary, operating on the same frequency as the international ISO/IEC 14443 standards. The Go Card uses an 8% NRZ ASK modulation scheme for transmission at 13.56 MHz, and a ASK-NRZ load modulation scheme for transmission from the smart card. This format is described International Application Number PCT/US92/08892 and WO 93/09516, titled "Non-contact Automatic Fare Collection System", filed Oct. 19, 1992.
