Adaptive impedance matching system for downlink of passive semi‐ultra wideband ultra‐high frequency radio frequency identification tag

Abstract

The input impedance of ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification tag varies with the received power on the chip. It will induce impedance mismatch between the receiver antenna and microchip, thus drastically affect the performance of communication. In this paper, a low cost and fully integrated automatic impedance matching system was presented to solve this problem. It consists of two control loops for independent control of the real and imaginary parts of impedance. The first control loop realizes resistance correction using a parallel LC tuning network, whereas the second control loop achieves reactance compensation using a series LC tuning network. In both loops, the mismatch information is detected for direct control of the variable elements, varactors, which are tuned in a sequential manner. For unambiguous control of the resistance correction, the sign of the intermediate reactance is used as a secondary control criterion to enforce operation into a stable region. The functionality of the proposed automatic matching system was verified for different input impedances of a specifically semi-ultra wideband ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification tag as the available input power varies. The results indicate that all matched impedances are clustered around the target impedance 50 C j 0 after acquisition of both loops.

Design and Evaluation of a T-Shaped Adaptive Impedance Matching System for Vehicular Power Line Communication

“…The measurement unit measures the access voltage and current and provides real and imaginary parts (R acc and X acc ) of the VPLN access impedance to the control unit for decision making. Previous scholars have presented impedance measurement circuits composed of a sensing circuit and a detector [19], [30]. A sensing circuit containing a fixed inductor and two Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amps) can be used to provide the access voltage and current of the VPLN for the detector.…”

Analysis of Electromagnetic Interference for Anti-Medal UHF RFID Temperature Tag in High Power Electronic Equipment

“…At present, improving and optimizing most RFID temperature measurement systems often requires modifying hardware circuits, which not only increases the costs of RFID temperature measurement systems but also hinders their widespread application. Wang X et al designed a remote temperature measurement system based on commercial RFID tags named RF thermometer, as shown in Figure 1 [4]. This system uses tensor complementation to reconstruct missing phases and a Gaussian process model to construct a phase-temperature map.…”
