Method and Apparatus for Providing Energy to Passive Tags in a Radio-frequency Identification System

摘要

A method and an apparatus for providing energy to passive tags in a radio-frequency identification system in which a radio-frequency identification system uses the passive tags, a reader/writer sends commands and continuous waves alternately during a communication process, and the tags can obtain energy from these signals sent by the reader/writer, wherein at least one period is selected from those periods for transmitting the continuous waves, and for the continuous wave transmitting signals during this period, an enhanced transmitting power is used, or a extended transmitting time is used, or during this period continuous waves are sent additionally to the passive tags by an independent energy supplying apparatus provided separately, so that the passive tags can obtain from the continuous waves during the selected period more energy for reading and/or writing, thereby improving the reliability of the reading and/or writing operations, and increasing the rewritable range of the radio-frequency identification system.
