Patent ID: 7570920

Claim:
A wireless link system comprising: a pulse shaper to provide an amplitude modulated (AM) signal, wherein the AM signal is used to communicate with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag; a frequency modulator to provide an frequency modulation (FM) signal, wherein the FM signal is used to communicate with a wireless device; an AM-FM hybrid signal generator to generate an AM-FM hybrid signal comprising an AM signal provided by the pulse shaper and an FM signal provided by the frequency modulator, the AM-FM hybrid signal generator further transmitting the AM-FM hybrid signal to both the RFID tag and the wireless device, wherein the frequency modulator provides the FM signal in response to a signal received from the wireless device, and a power splitter that splits the AM-FM hybrid signal into a first signal and a second signal, wherein the first signal is transmitted to at least one of the RFID tag or the wireless device, and the second signal is used as a as part of a receive chain process to support received signals.
