    摘要: A radio frequency identification exciter (200) includes a plurality of antenna elements (122a-i) that are spaced to define active areas (130a-e). A matrix switch (202) flexibly connects the plurality of antenna elements to an exciter circuit (203). Independent switches (204a-i) are selectively switched such that an electric field is generated between at least two antenna elements whereby radio frequency identification tags (132) in the vicinity of the two antenna elements are capacitively powered to exchange data with the exciter. Antenna elements other than the at least two antenna elements may be selectively coupled to a signal from the exciter circuit that inhibits activation of radio frequency identification tags in the vicinity of those antenna elements. The matrix switch preferably comprises polymer-based circuits.

    摘要: A common-mode sensing circuit (504) of a clocked differential amplifier (602) includes a refresh circuit (604) which precharges a capacitance during a first clock phase (P.sub.1) and discharges the capacitance to drive the outputs (514, 516) of the differential amplifier (602) to a desired common-mode voltage (V.sub.AGO) during a second clock phase, which increases the output loading during the second clock phase (P.sub.2).

    摘要: A non-inverting, inverting, delayed non-inverting, and delayed inverting non-overlapping clock signal is provided by a non-overlapping clock generator circuit (41, 61). The non-overlapping clock generator circuit (41, 61) increases time for circuit operation by minimizing delays between non-overlapping clock signals and simultaneously transitioning rising edges of clock signals. A non-overlapping clock generation circuit (41) comprises six NOR gates (43-48) and an inverter (42). Three NOR gates form a first delay line (43-45) and the remaining three NOR gates form a second delay line (46-48). The inverter (42) provides an inverted clock signal to the second delay line. A clock signal propagates through one delay line while the other delay line is non-responsive due to a feedback signal from the active delay line. Once the clock signal has propagated through the active delay line, the feedback signal changes and allows NOR gates of the remaining delay line to simultaneously provide a clock signal and a delayed clock signal.

Each band path comprises a modulator configured to modulate a data signal onto a carrier signal associated with the frequency range of the band path to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal associated with the band path and frequency range of the band path. Each band path also comprises a step-down balun that includes an input coil configured to receive the RF signal from the modulator. Each band path further comprises a tuner configured to tune the input coil to the frequency range of the band path.
