    摘要: In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a transponder is provided, comprising: a frequency detector configured to monitor an output frequency of a clock-stop sensor of said transponder, wherein said frequency detector is further configured to determine if said output frequency falls within a response detection frequency range of an external reader, and a frequency shifter configured to shift, in response to the frequency detector determining that the output frequency falls within said response detection frequency range, said output frequency to a value outside said response detection frequency range. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of operating a transponder is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding computer program is provided.

    摘要: There is provided, a method for clock recovery in a RFID tag, the method includes receiving a RF field from a RFID reader. A field clock is generated from the received RF field, from which a clock recovery signal is generated. The RF field is modulated to produce a RF modulation. Generation of the clock recovery signal is paused while the RF field is being modulated. A modulation envelope signal is generated and used for load modulation. Generation of the clock recovery signal at the end of the RF modulation is resumed after a delay of one clock cycle from a falling edge of the modulation envelope signal. In another embodiment of the method, instead of adding the delay, a differential amplifier is used to increase RF field detection sensitivity. The method and the RFID tag ensures synchronized resumption of a PLL clock and the clock recovery signal.
