- the filter 42 has, for example, a band-pass filter or a high-pass filter, and passes only the waveform having a period of 4 Fs from the envelope of the ASK modulation wave detected by the envelope detection circuit 33.
- the filter 42 constitutes clock generation means.
- the envelope detection circuit 33 of the comparators 34 and 40 is compared with the thresholds A and B, and the waveform is shaped.
- the waveform shaping accuracy is improved and the waveform shaping accuracy is increased.
- the waveform shaping accuracy can be increased without setting the threshold values A and B strictly. That is, a filter 41 that passes only the waveform of the period Fs out of the envelope of the ASK modulation wave detected by the envelope detection circuit 33 is provided in the preceding stage of the comparator 34, and only the waveform of the period 4Fs is allowed to pass. Since the filter 42 is provided in front of the comparator 40, the waveform shaping accuracy can be improved without setting the thresholds A and B strictly. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an accurate clock and to accurately demodulate data.
- a clock is generated from an ASK modulated wave during downlink communication and a clock is generated using a periodic waveform signal whose amplitude periodically varies during uplink communication. You can generate a clock like this.
- the RZW device 1 transmits a PSK modulated wave to the RF-ID tag 2, and the RF-ID tag 2 generates a clock from the PSK modulated wave.
- the R / W device 1 transmits an RF band carrier whose phase periodically varies to the RF ID tag 2 as a periodic waveform signal with a phase change, and the RF ID tag 2 A clock is generated by extracting the phase change of the carrier.
- the communication system uses the RF-ID tag when the RF-ID tag without a power supply and the reader / writer device communicate using radio waves of the UHF band or higher. It is suitable for use with clocks that are highly needed to generate low power consumption.
