An RFID transponder includes an antenna and modulation circuitry for back scatter modulation at an local voltage rail connected to the antenna such that a voltage of the antenna is maintained within a predetermined range. The modulation circuitry includes a voltage regulation loop including a rectifier connected between the antenna and the local voltage rail (Vlocal) for rectifying a voltage from the antenna so as to load the local voltage rail (Vlocal) with the rectified voltage from the antenna, an error amplifier (A1) for comparing a voltage at the local voltage rail (Vlocal) with a modulation voltage (Vmod) and producing an output signal (Vout), a switch for switching the modulation voltage (Vmod) between a first reference voltage level (Vref) and a second reference voltage level, wherein a regulated load is coupled between the output of the error amplifier (A1) and the antenna, which is varied in response to the output signal (Vout).
