SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING POWER USAGE IN A RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A radio frequency (RF) communication device is provided comprising means for switching between a low current operating mode and a high current operating mode. The low current operating mode is optimized to conserve power while th e RF device is awaiting a wake-up signal from an interrogator. The high curren t operating mode is optimized to provide antenna matching during backscatter communications so as to maximize the range of backscatter communication between the RF device and the interrogator. Further provided, is a system an d method for optimizing power consumption and backscatter range within an RF communication device.
