Radio frequency identification (RFID) includes far-field systems
associated with an RFID interrogator and an RFID tag. The RFID
interrogator produces continuous wave (CW) unmodulated signals selected
from frequencies comprising a predetermined frequency band. The RFID tag
includes reception and transmission antenna circuits, a signal processor,
and an oscillator. The reception antenna circuit receives the reception
signals from the RFID interrogator. The signal processor determines
whether the reception signals correspond to a plurality of tag
identification frequencies as a correlation. The signal processor also
produces responsive signals in response to the correlation. The
oscillator supplies a carrier frequency. The transmission antenna circuit
combines the carrier signal with the response signals to produce transmit
signals, and then dispatches the transmit signals.
