Abstract

An interrogation unit which has a control circuit and an RF oscillator is described. The interrogation unit further has a transmitter which receives the output of the RF oscillator and transmits at least one RF interrogation pulse of a first frequency for interrogating the responder unit, causing the responder unit to return read data in the form of a RF response. Also in the interrogation unit is a switch for disabling the output of said transmitter and enabling reception of the RF response upon termination of the RF interrogation signal. The interrogation unit still further has a receiver for receiving the RF response upon termination of the RF interrogation pulse and an interrogation unit demodulator for demodulation of the read data from said RF response.
