Low-Power Clock Recovery Circuit for UHF RFID EPC Class-1 Generation-2 Transponders

Summary
The invention makes the generation of a low frequency error clock source for backscatter link frequency possible. The power consumption of the invention is very low such that the reading distance of a passive transponder is not harmed. Also the clock calibration process continuously conducted in the whole downlink duration to prevent frequency drifting before the backscatter communication. The calibration process does not need any special training sequence. Thus there is no dead time in terms of information flow for interrogator to transponder communication.
