Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RFID technology, specifically a high-frequency tag FSK signal demodulation circuit that enables long-distance reading of high-frequency RFID tags. Background technology:

[0002] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a communication technology that uses radio waves to achieve non-contact automatic identification of target objects and acquire data. Its core components include electronic tags, readers, and a back-end data processing system. Compared with traditional barcode technology, RFID has advantages such as longer reading distance, batch reading, strong environmental adaptability, and data read / write capabilities, and is widely used in logistics management, retail, smart manufacturing, transportation, and other fields.

[0003] Existing high-frequency RFID demodulation circuits mostly use integrated chips (such as PN5180 and ST25R3916). Although they have high integration and short development cycles, they have the following drawbacks: 1) Integrated chips have fixed algorithms, which cannot be adapted to proprietary communication protocols; 2) The tag reading distance is limited, usually between 0.1m and 1.2m. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of insufficient reading distance. Summary of the Invention:

[0030] Example:

[0031] As attached Figure 2As shown, this example provides a high-frequency tag FSK signal demodulation circuit, which is applied in an RFID reader. The RFID reader has a modulation circuit connected to the controller MCU. The output of the modulation circuit is connected to the power amplifier circuit.

The active bandpass filter amplifier circuit 2 performs bandpass filtering, amplification, and limiting on the subcarrier signal extracted by the envelope detector circuit 1. Bandpass filtering is used to filter out noise signals other than the subcarrier frequency, while amplification and limiting are used to keep the amplitude of the subcarrier frequency signal entering the analog multiplier constant, so that the output voltage of the analog multiplier can linearly follow the instantaneous frequency change of the input frequency modulated wave and avoid distortion.

The phase-shifting center frequency is 455kHz, and the subcarrier signals at 423.75kHz and 484.28kHz are shifted by 144° and 35° respectively. The analog multiplier circuit 4 multiplies the subcarrier signal with the phase-shifted subcarrier signal, converting the frequency signal of the subcarrier signal into an amplitude signal. The low-pass filter amplifier circuit 5 filters out the multiplication factor from the amplitude signal after multiplication by the analog multiplier to obtain the FSK analog baseband signal. The comparison and decision circuit 6 converts the FSK analog baseband signal into an FSK digital baseband signal for MCU decoding. In this example, the controller is used to decode the FSK digital baseband signal.
