Abstract
In order to reduce the power consumption of RFID tags and increase the reading range of RFID systems, this paper proposes an ASK demodulator that uses a new approach to reduce the threshold voltage of diode connected MOS transistors as an obstacle in the design of the envelope detector. Also, an ultra low power comparator is used for further power reduction. This circuit has been simulated in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology to satisfy EPC Class 1 Generation 2 standard protocol emphasizing on the reduction of power consumption. The proposed circuit can correctly demodulate the minimum input RF signal amplitude of 180 mV for modulation depths of 55–100 % with 40–160 kb/s data rates. A total power consumption of less than 290 nW is achieved at a 1.2 V power supply. Effects of the input signal additive white noise as well as the process and temperature variations on the signal demodulation is also investigated in this paper.

    I have viewed a few websites about Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. It is a very tiny technology and often the size of a grain of rice but now have been shrunk to half the size of a grain of sand! RFID tags are intelligent bar codes that can store up information of either merchandises, pets or farm animals and many more depending on what people want to chip the RFID tags into. These RFID tags also act as a very powerful tracking device, which farmers and owners of pets chipped them into their herbivores and pets. Because of the capability to determine the distance of the tag from the reader position, lost pets and farm animals, as well as RFID tagged items can be easily tracked down. However, the use of RFID tags are arising privacy concerns among the human community.…

    Radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips are small radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that can be used in a product, animal, and humans to track location, transfer data, and to identify the object. These chips are as small as a grain of rice and can store over 2,000 bytes of data. Some chips are powered by and read at short ranges via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction). Certain chips use a local power source like a battery and some others that don’t use a local battery get the energy from interrogating electromagnetic fields and then act as a passive transponder to emit microwaves. RFID chips have been around for a very long time, but a lot of people don’t know what they are used for and what they are used in.…

    For the most part RFIDs are mainly invisible, which consequently make tracking and data collection practically effortless. They can be found in memory chips, book labels, anti-theft devices, EZPass tags, etc. There are even certain devices that use RFIDs, such as tracking chips put on equipment, animals and children. Some RFID tags can be used in matrices “as real time locators systems (RTLS) that can record movements and locations of tagged entities,” according to Strickland and Hunt. A popular, oblivious way of everyday data collection through radio frequency is Wi-Fi.…

    Studies show that it is more likely for boys to wrestle with each other when they are young. While girls are more likely to play with dolls and play cooking and house games. I think this is a common misconception. It commonly looked at that girls are supposed to play with their dolls, not wrestle each other because that isn’t lady-like. Boys tend to play more physically, like wrestle and play in the mud. At the age of around three to six years old boys tend to play with boys, and girls tend to play with girls, this segregation by gender, reinforces gender types.…

    The main aim of the project is to develop a miniaturised low power FM transmitter to be used in specialized application such as hearing aid for a tour guiding system, room monitoring (such as baby device), small area security system and entertainments. No license is required for this low power- range limited transmitter designed according to FCC regulation. Frequency modulation has several advantages over the system of amplitude modulation (AM). The most important is that an FM has greater freedom from interference and static. Various electrical disturbances such as those caused by thunderstorms and car ignition systems. A well designed FM receiver is not sensitive to such disturbances when it is tuned to FM signal of sufficient strength. Also, the signal-to-noise ratio is much higher than AM. World’s broadcast band falls within the VHF part of the radio spectrum. Commercial FM radio stations are assigned frequencies between 87.5 to 108 MHz.…

    The paper will be demonstrating for the first time ever the usage of wireless telecommunications systems and miniature sensor devices like RFID passive Tags, that are smaller than a grain of rice and equipped with a tiny antenna which will capture and wirelessly transmit a person's vital body-function data, such as pulse or body temperature , to an integrated ground station. In addition, the antenna will also receive information regarding the location of the individual from the GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) System. Both sets of data medical information and location will then be wirelessly transmitted to the ground station and made available to save lives by remotely monitoring the medical conditions of at-risk patients and providing emergency rescue units with the person's exact location.…
