Design of a spike-based architecture for energy harvested RFID-system

Abstract

A time-frequency localization-based implementation of a novel technique to transmit identification and sensor information measured at the tag to the reader is presented. The proposed device presents a novel idea to modulate a sensor and ID information in a single spike. It has the ability to operate at low power as the system uses the proposed spike modulation technique with an analog backscatter communication. A spike is generated at the tag on every rising edge of the oscillator and hence, information is sent to the tag periodically. The time frequency analysis of the spike is performed and simulation of RF analog backscatter is presented.
