+// after the final 20us pause generated by the reader.
+//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+// Transmits a bit
+//
+// Note: The Subcarrier is not disabled during bits to prevent glitches. This is
+//       not mandatory but results in a cleaner signal. tx_frame will disable
+//       the subcarrier when the frame is done.

+// start/stop information or length information. The tag detects end of frame
+// trough an extended pulse (>99.1us) without a pause.
+// In reverse direction (card to reader) the number of bites is well known
+// and depends only the command received (IV, ACK, READ or WRITE).
