Abstract:
This paper describes a digital radio receiver for UHF-RFID systems based on an undersampling scheme for the signal digitalization. The original UHF signal is transferred into a digital intermediate frequency by means of undersampling. The sampled signal is transfered to an FPGA where it is decimated by a CIC filter, and demodulated using a digital I-Q demodulator. The baseband signal is obtained after the low-pass filtering. The details of the system are presented as well as some measurements.
