USE OF A SUBCARRIER IN AN ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A radio frequency identification system (20) comprising a radio reader circuit (30) operable to emit a radio frequency carrier signal (60) modulated with a subcarrier, which has a subcarrier modulation rate. The radio frequency identification tag circuit (70) is operable to extract the subcarrier from the emitted radio frequency carrier signal (60) and the extracted subcarrier then functions as a clock, which operates to assist in the transfer of a modulated backscattered signal (66) to the radio frequency identification reader circuit (70). The radio frequency identification reader circuit (70) decodes the modulated backscattered signal (66) and the data encoded in the radio frequency identification tag circuit (70) is obtained.
