摘要:
Systems, software, devices, and methods are described for an RFID reader system to communicate with RFID tags. RF energy encountered in conjunction with using a selected channel is detected. The RF energy can be a signal from an RFID tag. The detected signal is used to adjust a waveform shaping parameter. RF waves can be transmitted from the reader to the RFID tags and RF waves can be backscattered from the RFID tags. At least some of the RF waves transmitted to or backscattered from the RFID tags have a waveform with a shape according to the adjusted waveform shaping parameter.

摘要:
An RFID reader inventories a population of tags. The reader evaluates responses from tags by categorizing them in slots. As tags are inventoried, the number of slots based on a Q-parameter is reduced. The reader addresses the tags by communicating a Q1 value for the Q parameter, generates first contents from replies received from the tags, and computes a first merit statistic based on the first contents. Next, the reader determines a Q2 value for the Q parameter, which if used in the same way would meet a preset fairway condition better than the first merit statistic. After determining the Q2 value, the reader addresses a portion of the tags by communicating the Q2 value for the Q parameter.

Analog-valued floating-gate transistors are used as trimmable circuit components for modifying and/or controlling the gain, phase, offset, frequency response, current consumption, and/or transfer function of signal pathways in parallel and/or serial processing circuits in radio frequency, analog, or mixed-signal integrated circuits.

An RFID reader inventories a population of tags. The reader evaluates responses from tags by categorizing them in slots. As tags are inventoried, the number of slots based on a Q-parameter is reduced. The reader addresses the tags by communicating a Q1 value for the Q parameter, generates first contents from replies received from the tags, and computes a first merit statistic based on the first contents. Then, the reader repeats the process with a Q2 value. Upon computing the first and the second merit statistics, the reader determines a Q3 value for the Q parameter. If the Q3 value is substantially equal to the Q1 value, the reader continues to receive the second replies without communicating the Q3 value. If the Q3 value is different from the Q2 value, the reader uses the Q3 value for another round of iteration heuristically converging on an optimum Q value.

摘要:
RFID system components, such as readers and tags, communicate where the reader inventories a population of tags. The reader evaluates responses from tags by categorizing them in slots. As tags are inventoried, the number of slots based on a Q-parameter is reduced. The reader determines an interim value for the Q parameter, generates a Q1 value by applying the interim value to a damping function, and uses the Q1 value in another round of interrogation. The reader then determines whether to increase or decrease the interim value depending on the tag replies. The increase or decrease may be an increment or a decrement such as incrementing or decrementing a floating point number of the interim value in a damping function that is arranged to return an integer by rounding the floating point number.
