Abstract
A ringdown canceller is provided for electronic article surveillance (EAS) tag response processing, which uses two adaptive replica signals and compares the replica signal phase to the receive signal phase to determine if there is a stationary EAS tag in the interrogation or detection zone. The adaptive replica buffers allow the system to adjust to changing ambient conditions, and adjust rapidly to an EAS tag that suddenly appears in the detection zone and becomes stationary, or to a stationary EAS tag that suddenly leaves the detection zone. The ringdown response of the transmitter circuit is constant, just like a stationary tag, and is removed from the receive signal in the same manner as a stationary tag.
