Abstract: A radio frequency identification transceiver is disclosed. The radio frequency identification transceiver includes: a transmitter path, including; a pulse shaper to tunably shape the pulse of a signal to be transmitted in different predefined frequency ranges; a modulator to modulate the shaped pulse to be transmitted into one of a plurality of predefined frequency ranges; a receiver path, including: a demodulator to demodulate a received signal from a plurality of predefined frequency ranges.

Abstract: An RFID transceiver (200) includes a common frequency source (250), a receiving channel (230) and a transmitting channel (240). The common frequency source (250) is configured to provide a predefined intermediate frequency signal fIF, and a predefined carrier frequency signal fc. The RFID receiving channel (230) includes an upconverting mixer (232) having a first input coupled to receive the predefined intermediate frequency signal fIF, a second input coupled to receive the predefined carrier frequency signal fc, and an output, the upconverting mixer (232) operable to produce an upconverted signal at a frequency defined by fc±fIF.

Abstract: A leakage suppressing circuit for a communication device is provided. The leakage suppressing circuit comprises a signal transforming unit having an input for receiving an input signal, a first output and a second output, the signal transforming unit being configured such that the phase of an output signal at the first output is at least substantially the same as or at least substantially opposite to the phase of an output signal at the second output, and the power of the output signal at the first output is at least substantially equal to the power of the output signal at the second output, a first signal directing unit, a second signal directing unit, and a combining unit.
