An RF transponder system is provided that is capable of detecting and correcting data transmission errors. The RF transponder system includes an exciter that generates an RF excitation signal and a transponder that receives the RF excitation signal and is powered thereby. The transponder generates and transmits a RF response signal including a plurality of data sets each containing a common message. At least one of the data sets is encoded in a manner different from the remaining data sets. The RF response signal is received by a reader that decodes the encoded data sets. Corresponding bits of each of the data sets are compared for purposes of error detection. If a majority of corresponding bits from each of the data sets match, a valid bit is defined thereby. Bits that are not in the majority are discarded. An invalid bit is defined where less than a majority of corresponding bits match a selected bit of a selected data set. <IMAGE> |
