Abstract :
A UHF RFID reader that handles RFID tag information as weak as -80dBm along with large inband blockers as large as 20dBm is presented. Fabricated in a 0.18mum CMOS process, the reader selectively attenuates large inband blockers, 40 to 250kHz away from the tag information, by better than 30dB using the limiting concept, while amplifying the tag information by 18dB.
