Abstract

See full text

The invention reduces recovery time in a receiving coil or antenna of an RFID reader by generating a reference voltage that then clamps the node on which the desired signal is monitored. The coil is coupled to parallel channels. One channel has a recovery time or capacitance very much less than the other parallel channel. The two channels have a monitored node which are clamped together or at least close together by means of a Schottky diode. The monitored nodes of both channels are coupled to the inputs of a differential amplifier. The output of the amplifier is the conditioned received signal from the coil used in the reader as the sensed signals from the RFID tags.
