Abstract
An RFID circuit comprises an RF carrier signal source, a hybrid coupled to the RF carrier signal source operable to generate an in-phase and a quadrature phase component of the RF carrier signal, a switch coupled to the hybrid operable to pass one of the in-phase and quadrature phase components of the RF carrier signal to its output, and a mixer coupled to the output of the switch operable to multiply one of the in-phase and quadrature phase component of the carrier signal and a received modulated carrier signal and generate a baseband signal.
