A system for power supply synchronization in an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader is shown and described. In one embodiment, the system includes one or more switched mode power supply devices and a signal generator. Each of the switched mode power supply devices provides power to at least one component of the RFID reader. The signal generator transmits a synchronization signal of a controlling frequency to each of the one or more power supply devices. In one embodiment, the system includes a signal processing unit that is configured to reject one or more spectral components from the output of the RFID reader.

A pilot tone generator receives optical energy from an optical communication medium carrying a plurality of optical signals. Each optical signal carries data modulated at a unique wavelength and further modulated with a unique identification signal. The identification signal has an amplitude corresponding to an optical power of the associated optical signal. The pilot tone receiver detects each identification signal from the optical energy received and determines its corresponding amplitude. The pilot tone receiver calculates the optical power of each optical signal in the optical energy in response to the amplitude of the associated identification signal.

A laser driver outputs a data protocol signal as controlled by an extinction control signal. The data protocol signal has a header including first and second bit patterns. A laser outputs an optical signal in response to being excited by the data protocol signal. The first and second bit patterns are measured and used to calculate an extinction ratio. The calculated extinction ratio is compared with a desired extinction ratio to generate the extinction control signal.

Methods and apparatus for managing an optical network using pilot tones are provided. One method includes selecting an optical path having a plurality of nodes from a database defining an expected optical network. A detected list of pilot tones associated with each node of the selected optical path is generated. An expected list of pilot tones associated with each node of the selected optical path is generated. The detected and expected lists are compared to identify any mismatched nodes.

Methods and apparatus for maintaining a pre-determined ratio of a pilot tone power and a total mean optical power of an optical signal are provided. One apparatus includes an optical source coupled to provide an optical signal in response to a DC bias and an AC bias corresponding to a pilot tone signal. A processor is coupled to compute each of an AC component and a DC component of the optical signal from the same digitally sampled signal. A feedback control is coupled to vary at least one of the DC bias and the AC bias in accordance with a difference between a pre-determined value and a ratio of the AC and DC components.

Apparatus and methods are described which are useful for determining a location characteristic between an RFID tag and an RFID tag reader or a second RFID tag. In various embodiments, signals backscattered from a singulated tag over a range of frequencies are evaluated for in-phase I and in-quadrature Q signal components. The I-Q data is processed to determine phase delay angles associated with each signal frequency. The phase delay data can be processed by a sum of squared errors method or Fourier transform method to determine a distance to the singulated tag. The methods can also be used to determine any of a location, a radial velocity, a directional velocity of the singulated tag, and proximity of the singulated tag to a second tag.
