Patent number: 8792846Abstract: A demodulator includes a sampler configured to sample a plurality of first amplitude values of a modulated carrier signal using a constant sampling frequency and a plurality of second amplitude values of the modulated carrier signal at different times using the same constant sampling frequency. The constant sampling frequency is equal to a carrier frequency of the modulated carrier signal with a tolerance of +/?1% of the carrier frequency.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignees: Infineon Technologies AG, Technische Universitaet GrazInventors: Walter Kargl, Edmund Ehrlich

Patent number: 8625727Abstract: A demodulator includes a sampler and a trigger unit. The sampler is configured to sample a carrier signal based on a trigger signal to obtain a demodulated signal. The trigger unit is configured to detect a zero crossing of the carrier signal or an extreme value of an amplitude of the carrier signal. Further, the trigger unit is configured to provide the trigger signal based on the detected zero crossing or the detected extreme value, so that the carrier signal is sampled by the sampler with a predefined phase shift to the detected zero crossing or the detected extreme value. The predefined phase shift is larger than 30° plus an integer multiple of 90° and lower than 60° plus the same integer multiple of 90° in reference to the carrier signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Walter Kargl, Edmund Ehrlich

Patent number: 8616456Abstract: A passive RFID transponder includes a coder and a modulator. The coder generates a digital coded data stream based on a digital data stream to be transmitted. The digital coded data stream includes an initialization bit sequence having a maximum data frequency of the digital coded data stream. Furthermore, the digital coded data stream changes its value at the latest after a predefined number of bits. The modulator modulates an amplitude of a carrier signal with the digital coded data stream to provide an amplitude-modulated coded signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Walter Kargl, Edmund Ehrlich
