Abstract: Provided are a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag with a signal reception method. The RFID tag includes a demodulator that receives a read signal containing read data. The demodulator includes; a voltage generating circuit that provides a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal derived from the received read signal, an inverter that provides a data pulse signal indicative of the read data by inverting the second voltage signal using an inverting voltage defined in relation to the first voltage signal, and a buffer that recovers the read data by buffering the data pulse signal.

Abstract: A diode detecting circuit which cancels temperature dependence of a detecting diode so as to obtain highly sensitive detection. The diode detecting circuit has a first diode detecting unit in which a first diode detects an input signal biased by a bias voltage, a second diode detecting unit in which a second diode receives the bias voltage, and an output unit which compares an output from the first diode detecting unit with an output from the second diode detecting unit.
