Abstract: An RFID transponder includes a coding and modulation unit that generates a transmission signal by modulating an oscillator signal with an encoded bit signal. During a first and a second time segment, the encoded bit signal assumes a first and a second logic level, respectively. The transmission signal includes a first signal pulse having a first phase within the first time segment and a second signal pulse having a second phase that is shifted with respect to the first phase by a predefined phase difference within the second time segment. The transmission signal is paused for a pause period between the first and the second signal pulse. The pause period is shorter than a mean value of a period of the first time segment and a period of the second time segment.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure disclose decoding techniques for mitigating data corruption due to duty cycle distortion, jitter, and other distortions to a digital signal. Decoding processes, apparatuses, and systems are provided that utilize a decoding framework for improving the accuracy of output bit streams generated from digital signals. An example process receives data indicative of a digital signal, generates a signal measurement for the digital signal that includes signal length descriptive between a two rising edges of a digital signal or two falling edges of the demodulated digital signal, and generates at least one portion of an output bit stream for the digital signal based at least in part on the signal measurement.

Abstract: An RFID transponder device has antenna terminals for coupling an antenna system to the device. A transmitter and a receiver are coupled to the antenna terminals. The device has at least one damping resistance connected to at least one of the antenna terminals. The at least one damping resistance is connected, depending on a voltage swing at the antenna terminals during a transmission burst period, either together with a serially connected switch in parallel to the antenna terminals that are coupled to the receiver, or together with a parallel connected switch between one of the antenna terminals and a terminal of the transmitter. A damping control is configured to activate the at least one damping resistance during a damping period after the transmission burst period by controlling the respective switch.

Abstract: A device is configured to operate in a first mode of operation during which the device is configured to receive a first supply voltage in a contactless manner. The device includes a light emitting element and a first circuit. The first circuit is configured to receive a second supply voltage generated from the first supply voltage. A first current is generated from the first supply voltage, independent from the second voltage, and applied to the light emitting element which is selectively turned on.
