PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR

摘要

One embodiment of the invention includes a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for generating pseudorandom numbers for a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The PRNG includes an analog portion configured to generate a pseudorandom number seed having a value that varies based on sampling a received RF signal. A digital portion is configured to generate a pseudorandom number based on the pseudorandom number seed generated by the analog portion.
