Abstract :
A passive RFID transponder conforming to the EPC Gen 2 standard is presented, including an RF and analog front-end, EEPROM, and a digital processing core and features a unique RF sampled analog random number generator to support the required anti-collision protocol. Fabricated in 0.13mum CMOS, the 0.55mm2 IC functions at a sensitivity of -14dBm using an 860-to-960MHz carrier at 40-to-160kb/s RX data rates.
