Abstract
A method for wireless interrogation of data from a passive element. A first high frequency signal sent to the element excites the element to transmit a response signal which is received and mixed with a reference signal in a mixer, generating a data signal. The data signal is evaluated to extract data. A second high frequency signal generated from the same frequency reference as the first frequency signal is used as a reference signal. A control signal is generated by mixing the reference and first frequency signals. The data signal is bandpass-filtered in analog form and is converted, with the control signal, to a digital signal and digital control signal which are then each bandpass-filtered in digital form. The digital data and digital control signals are correlated to form a result signal so that a digital coherence is achieved. Raw data representing the data are obtained from the result signal.
