Abstract:
An RFID tag (1) includes an antenna coil (111) configured to transmit and receive a signal through near field communication, a signal processing circuit (121) configured to process the signal transmitted and received by the antenna coil (111), a capacitive element (112) arranged in series between the antenna coil (111) and the signal processing circuit (121), and a control unit (122) configured to control the capacity value of the capacitive element (112). The control unit (122) changes the capacity value of the capacitive element (112) according to whether a voltage is applied from an external power supply.
Abstract:
Conventionally, the circuit scale and cost were increased so as to significantly reduce the distortion of modulated signals of amplifiers. An amplifier comprising a modulation encoder (101) that receives an original modulated signal and generates an amplitude signal and a phase signal; voltage adjusting means (110) for generating from the amplitude signal an amplitude modulated signal; a carrier generator (102) for generating from the phase signal a phase modulated signal; and an amplifying element (106) that receives the phase modulated signal, also receives, as a bias voltage, the amplitude modulated signal, and outputs a modulated signal obtained by reconstructing and amplifying the original modulated signal; wherein the voltage adjusting means (110) decides, based on a level control signal indicative of the level of the amplitude modulated signal, a DC offset voltage, and generates an amplitude modulated signal in which the DC offset voltage has been added.
