| Abstract |
As RFID is utilized more frequently and diversely in terms of its application areas, the application of mobile RFID technology, which integrates cellular networks and RFID, is highly anticipated. The growth and development of the RFID field has bolstered the development of mobile RFID chips to be embedded in mobile phones. Because mobile RFID chips are embedded in cell phones, limitations such as low power, small form factor, and costliness must be confronted. This study presents the design of a RFID digital baseband processor that is suitable for mobile readers. The RF analog component, which affects the baseband signals, is designed separately, in consideration of the limitations stated above. The function of the baseband processor was verified through simulations and prototyped using FPGA. The power consumption of the chip is 20mW under a 20MHz clock and the chip measures 3mm×3mm. |
