Patent number: 8325868Abstract: A passive phase jitter modulation (PJM) tag is charged with power in a continuous wave (CW) section. When receiving a command from a reader, the passive PJM tag must recognize the command and determine exactly when to begin demodulating the command. Only then can the passive PJM tag demodulate the command. To this end, a synchronization apparatus for accurately demodulating a signal input to a PJM tag includes a plurality of correlators correlating a received phase jitter-modulated signal with a template of an internal matched filter which is in the same form as at least a portion of a modified frequency modulation (MFM) flag.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Ji-hoon Bae, Gil-young Choi, Dong-han Lee, Hoon-gee Yang, Jong-suk Chae

Publication number: 20120112884Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for detecting the collision of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags. In the apparatus and method for detecting the collision of RFID tags, when a subcarrier signal from which a carrier signal has been removed by a reader ASK analog demodulation device is inputted to a baseband receiver, a peak signal for the received tag signal is generated, and useful information about the generated peak signal within a symbol section is extracted. In the case where a collision is generated because two or more tags send signals to an RFID reader at the same time when the RFID reader communicates with the tags, the RFID reader can effectively detect the collision between the tags.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2011Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Ji Hoon BAE, Kwang Soo Cho, Dong Han Lee, Man Sik Park, Chan Won Park
