An echo cancellation circuit for an RFID reader and the method thereof are provided. The echo cancellation circuit includes a gain calculator, a gain adjustment circuit, and a subtraction circuit. The gain calculator provides a complex gain value according to a carrier signal and a received signal through an adaptive algorithm. The gain adjustment circuit is coupled to the gain calculator. The gain adjustment circuit multiplies the carrier signal by the complex gain value, and outputs the result of the multiplication. The subtraction circuit is coupled to the gain adjustment circuit. The subtraction circuit subtracts the output of the gain adjustment circuit from the received signal, and then provides the result of the subtraction as the output signal of the echo cancellation circuit.

RFID reader and circuit and method for echo cancellation thereof

A printed circuit unit implementing with organic transistors is provided. The printed circuit unit includes an input signal circuit, a load circuit and a level shifter. The input signal circuit includes N serially connected organic transistors. When one of the serially connected organic transistors is cut-off, the signal input circuit is cut-off, so that the circuit is maintained to output a correct voltage level. The level shifter circuit includes an organic transistor having a gate for receiving the input signal. The organic transistor can also serve as a load for improving a gain of the level shifter.
