Technical field
The invention belongs to the wireless communication technique field, specifically involve a kind of semi-active RFID tag.
Background technology
In our daily life, automatic identification technology has a very wide range of applications in fields such as commerce, service sectors.Survey and compare with bar code, magnetic stripe with Contact Type Ic Card, REID (RFID-Radio FrequencyIdentification) has numerous advantages such as noncontact, precision height, information gathering are handled rapidly, all weather operations, has obtained vigorous growth and use widely in recent years.In different application scenarios, the composition structure of radio-frequency recognition system can difference according to actual needs change, but no matter be in which application scenario, any one radio-frequency recognition system has all comprised read write line and two parts of transponder.Fig. 1 has provided the synoptic diagram of a typical radio-frequency recognition system of being made up of read write line (1), reading and writing device antenna (2), transponder antenna (3) and transponder (4).Different according to NE BY ENERGY TRANSFER and method for interchanging data, the coupling scheme between read write line and the transponder can be divided into two kinds of inductive coupling and electromagnetism back scattering couplings.According to the difference of working frequency range, can be divided into low frequency, high frequency, ultrahigh frequency and four frequency ranges of microwave again.In general, the inductive coupling mode is applicable to low frequency and high-frequency band, and its characteristics are and can work in rugged surroundings such as humidity, but operating distance is generally in one meter, and typical frequency of operation has 125kHz, 225kHz, 13.56MHz; And electromagnetism back scattering coupling scheme are applicable to ultrahigh frequency and microwave frequency band, can realize the signal transmission more than a meter, and typical frequency of operation has 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz.
In actual applications, transponder often is called as radio-frequency (RF) tag or electronic tag (abbreviation label).According to the difference of tag-powered mode, can be divided into passive (Passive), half active (Semi-passive or Battery assisted passive) and active (Active) three kinds is dissimilar.Passive label does not have powered battery, and it is provided by the radio-frequency (RF) energy that read write line sends with the energy of keeping data storage, processing, signal generation fully in order to carry out data communication.Battery is equipped with in semi-active label inside, label optionally uses the radio-frequency (RF) energy of read write line emission or the energy of battery that the circuit that label inside is used for data storage, processing and internal signal generation is powered according to the energy size that receives, and is still provided by the radio-frequency (RF) energy of read write line emission in order to the energy that carries out data communication in the label.All required during active label work energy are supplied with by internal cell fully, and label can initiatively outwards send communication request, is often used for the function that realizes that some are complicated.Compare with passive label, semi-active label can be used for realizing the wireless telecommunications of farther distance because littler to the demand of the radio-frequency (RF) energy that receives; Compare with active label, the circuit structure of semi-active label is simple, and also littler for the demand of battery performance, production cost is lower.These advantages of semi-active label provide wide application space for it at numerous areas such as logistics, storage, car and boat monitoring, import and export checks.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of semi-active RFID tag of supporting wireless charging, reducing the demand of tag system, thereby realize the wireless telecommunications of farther distance for the energy that receives read write line emission.
The semi-active RFID tag of the support wireless charging that the present invention proposes is formed by the part system that changes passive label, and increases modules such as battery, energy measuring, energy selection and battery protection therein.Fig. 2 has provided structured flowchart of the present invention.It comprises antenna 5, battery 6, rectification and load-modulate module 7, battery protection module 8, energy detection module 9, energy selection module 10 and carries out circuit 11 these seven parts of functions such as data storage, processing and signal generation.Modules such as core of the present invention is that energy provides in the system, energy measuring and energy selection.Rectification and load-modulate module 7 are recovered out with the radiofrequency signal that obtains in the antenna 5, form galvanic current and press.When the RFID tag range reader is near, the energy height that antenna 5 receives, thereby the voltage height that rectification goes out; When the radio-frequency (RF) tag range reader was distant, the voltage that rectification goes out was low.Energy detection module 9 is according to rectification and load-modulate module 7 output voltage V
