  • Patent number: 8183981
    Abstract: A passive tag receiving a reader signal provided by a reader is disclosed. The passive tag includes an antenna, an oscillator circuit, and an internal chip. The antenna receives the reader signal. The reader signal is within an operation frequency band. The oscillator circuit is coupled to the antenna and generates a frequency signal. The internal chip processes the reader signal according to power provided by the reader signal and the frequency signal when the reader signal is received and the frequency signal is generated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8085130
    Abstract: A battery-assisted radio frequency identification (RFID) tag having a battery-assisted circuit and a filter is provided. The battery-assisted circuit generates a radio frequency signal whose frequency is outside an operating frequency band of the RFID tag to supply additional power to the RFID tag. The filter filters the radio frequency signal output from the battery-assisted circuit before the RFID tag demodulates a reader command, so that a modulation depth of the read command is less affected by multi-carrier. By using the battery-assisted circuit and the filter, the RFID tag has a longer read range and is less affected by multipath fading effects.
