    摘要: A radio frequency identification (RFID) architecture is described. RFID tags are interrogated by a reader, which may be located in a network of readers. The reader transmits symbols to the tags. Tags respond to the interrogations with symbols that each represent one or more bits of data. An RFID tag includes an antenna pad, a receiver, a state machine, and a modulator. The receiver is coupled to the antenna pad. The receiver receives a symbol from the antenna pad and outputs a received signal. The state machine is configured to determine a response symbol from the received signal and an operating state of the tag. The modulator is coupled to the antenna pad. The modulator is configured to backscatter modulate the received symbol with the response symbol. The modulator is configured to output the backscatter modulated symbol to the antenna pad.

    摘要: Techniques for detecting radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are disclosed. For example, an exit control system is described that detects unauthorized removal of articles from a protected facility. A series of antennas are setup to produce interrogation corridors located near the exit of the protected area. RFID tags are attached to the articles to be protected. Each tag includes information that uniquely identifies the article to which it is affixed and status information as to whether the articles removal from the facility is authorized. The RF reader outputs RF signals through the antennas to create electromagnetic fields within the interrogation corridors. The reader outputs RF power from a single port to the multiple antennas via a splitter/combiner. In this way, a single RF reader with only one transmitter/receiver port simultaneously interrogates multiple antennas. A variety of techniques are described by which the reader can detect the removal of an unauthorized article.

    摘要: A method is provided for communicating between an electronic tag and at least two base stations, the electronic tag including a memory for storing a code having a plurality of levels, an apparatus for reading out a series of code values, at least one antenna for communicating with a base station, and a controller for responding to a read query from a base station by causing the read-out apparatus to read out the code values at at least one level, causing an antenna to transmit back a response signal and altering the code in the memory in response to a write query from a base station. In a write step, the electronic tag passes close to the first base station, and a base station proximity value is written into a predetermined code level. A transmission step is carried out when the electronic tag passes close to the second base station.

    摘要: An identification (ID) tag includes a substrate having an input capable of receiving a high frequency signal. For instance, the high frequency signal can be a radio frequency (RF) signal that is generated as part of a radio frequency (RF) ID system. A first charge pump is coupled to the input and is configured to convert the high frequency signal to a substantially direct current (DC) voltage. A data recovery circuit is coupled to the input and is capable of recovering data from the high frequency signal. A back scatter switch is coupled to the input and is capable of modifying an impedance of the input, responsive to a control signal. A state machine is disposed on the substrate and is responsive to the data recovered by the second charge pump, where the state machine is capable of generating the control signal for the back scatter switch in response to the data. The DC voltage from the first charge pump is capable of providing a voltage supply for at least one of the data recovery circuit, the back scatter switch, and the state machine. The data recovery circuit includes a second charge pump that is capable of operating on the high frequency signal simultaneously with the first charge pump. In other words, the first charge pump can generate the supply voltage for the ID tag from the high frequency signal, while the second charge pump simultaneously retrieves the data from the high frequency signal. The first charge pump also includes a means for limiting the amplitude of the DC voltage by reducing the charge pump efficiency, once a threshold voltage is reached.
