In a contactless IC card system, a modulating circuit manufactured in an IC form
is operable at a high power efficiency. The demodulating apparatus is configured
to include: first signal output means for outputting a first output signal having
a predetermined phase with respect to that of an input signal, a second signal
output means for outputting a second output signal having a predetermined phase
with respect to that of the input signal, gate means for gating at least the second
output signal, calculation means for adding, or subtracting the first output signal
and the second output signal; and control means for controlling the operation of
the gate means in response to a logic level of input data.
