Title: Iq combiner technology in modulated backscatter system
Inventor: SHOBER R ANTHONY
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 1997-11-24
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an RFID system has a homodyne receiver having two outputs; the in-phase or I output and the quadrature or Q output. The modulated baskscattered signal is composed of an information signal, modulated onto a single frequency subcarrier signal, generating a modulated subcarrier signal; this modulated subcarrier signal is then backscatter modulated onto the incoming RF signal. To demodulate this modulated backscattered signal, the Iand Q outputs are combined using an IQ combiner. This IQ combiner introduces a 90° phase shift, with respect to the frequency of the subcarrier signal, onto one of the demodulator outputs and then combines the outputs of the demodulator.
