“…The I/Q architecture is also helpful in coupling with zero phenomenon of amplitude-modulated signal [3]. The most challenging problem with UHF RFID reader design is the unwanted CW leakage from TX to RX in order to energize passive tags.…”

“…Accompanying with this problem, the receiver must face the correlated amplitude (AM) noise and phase (PM) noise [10]. Assuming the transmitted power is up to 20 dBm [7], the isolation of circulator (or directional coupler) is up to 22 dB [11], the CW leakage will be 0 dBm level or more [3,4]. For various applications, people mainly adopt two methods of cancellation [12] and accommodation [3][4][5][6] to deal with it.…”

In comparison, the former needs more auxiliary digital algorithms and RF power consumption, more likely to be used by fixed readers, the latter is usually adopted by mobile readers.…”

“…UHF RFID systems use low data rate less than 640 kbps and simple coding schemes like FM0 and miller [2], the digital baseband signal processing can easily be realized using popular ARM-based processor. The integration scheme of UHF RFID reader transceiver is becoming the critical problem and attracting lots of research attention from all over the world [3][4][5][6]12]. This paper describes a monolithic UHF RFID reader transceiver for mobile RFID application, which is fabricated in the mature and low-cost 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS process.…”

A single-chip UHF RFID reader transceiver IC has been implemented in 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The chip includes all transceiver blocks as RX/TX RF front-end, RX/TX analog baseband, frequency synthesizer and I 2 C with fully-compliant China 800/900 MHz RFID draft, ISO/IEC 18000-6C protocol and ETSI 302 208-1 local regulation. The normal mode receiver in the presence of −3 dBm self-jammer achieves −75 dBm 1% PER sensitivity. The linear class-A PA integrated in transmitter has 25 dBm OP1 dB output power for CW. The fully-integrated fractional-N frequency synthesizer is designed based on MASH 1-1-1 sigma-delta modulator and 1.8 GHz fundamental frequency LC-VCO for lower in-band and out-of-band phase noise. The measured phase noise is up to −106 dBc/Hz@200 kHz and −131 dBc/Hz@1 MHz offset from center frequency and the integrated RMS jitter from 10 kHz to 10 MHz is less than 1.6 pS. The chip dissipates 330 mA from 3.3 V power supply when transmitting 22.4 dBm CW signal and the PAE of linear PA is up to 26%. The chip die area is 16.8 mm 2 .

Abstract:A fully integrated system-in-package (SiP) for UHF (860-960 MHz) RFID mobile reader is presented. The SiP is made up of an UHF transceiver, a power amplifier (PA), and two baluns. The UHF transceiver was designed in TSMC 0.18 µm Si CMOS and the PA was developed with InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction-bipolar transistor (HBT) technology. The transceiver IC is fully integrated for mobile UHF RFID applications and the PA has high efficiency and linearity with 24 dBm output power for wireless RFID communications over a distance of 1 m. The total size of the SiP module is 11 mm × 11 mm. The measured data show a transmitter gain of 19.2 dB, total current of 253 mA and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of −41.8 dBc with the second harmonic performance of −57.6 dBc. Also, TX-RX leakage was reduced by careful power amplifier and board designs in small SIP module implementation.
