Signal encoding apparatus and method of radio frequency identification reader
View Patent ↗A signal encoding apparatus and method of a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader capable of removing a high frequency component without using a digital filter, and performing Manchester encoding by using two symbols. The signal encoding apparatus of the RFID reader including an encoding unit that stores a first symbol and a second symbol; transmits the first symbol if data received after an initial state is zero (0), and returns to the initial state; delays for a given time period if the data received after the initial state is one (1); transmits the second symbol if data received after the delayed given time period is zero (0), and returns to the initial state; and transmits the first symbol if the data received after the delayed given time period is one (1), and stands by.
1. A signal encoding apparatus, the signal encoding apparatus comprising an encoding unit which:
stores a first symbol and a second symbol;
transmits the first symbol if data received after an initial state is zero (0), and returns to the initial state;
delays for a given time period if the data received after the initial state is one (1);
transmits the second symbol if data received after the delayed given time period is zero (0), and returns to the initial state; and
transmits the first symbol if the data received after the delayed given time period is one (1), and stands by.
2. The signal encoding apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encoding unit transmits the second symbol if data received while the encoding unit stands by after transmitting the first symbol is zero (0), and returns to the initial state.
3. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 2 .
4. The signal encoding apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encoding unit transmits the first symbol if data received while the encoding unit stands by after transmitting the first symbol is one (1), and stands-by.
5. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 4 .
6. The signal encoding apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first symbol has the same period as a Manchester encoding data rate.
7. The signal encoding apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second symbol has a period that is 1.5 times of the Manchester encoding data rate.
8. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 7 .
9. The signal encoding apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the delay has a period which is 0.5 times of the Manchester encoding data rate.
10. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 9 .
11. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 6 .
12. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprising the signal encoding apparatus of claim 1 .
13. A signal encoding method using a signal encoding apparatus, the signal encoding method comprising:
transmitting a first symbol if data received after an initial state is zero (0), and then returning to the initial state, and delaying for a given time period if the data received after the initial state is one (1); and
transmitting the second symbol if data received after the delayed given time period is zero (0), and then returning to the initial state, and transmitting the first symbol if the data received after the delayed given time period is one (1), and then standing by.
14. The signal encoding method of claim 13 , further comprising transmitting the second symbol if data received while standing by after transmitting the first symbol is zero (0), and returning to the initial state.
15. The signal encoding method of claim 13 , further comprising transmitting the first symbol if data received while standing by after transmitting the first symbol is one (1), and standing-by.
16. The signal encoding method of claim 13 , wherein the first symbol has the same period as a Manchester encoding data rate.
17. The signal encoding method of claim 16 , wherein the second symbol has a period that is 1.5 times of the Manchester encoding data rate.
18. The signal encoding method of claim 16 , wherein the delay has a period which is 0.5 times of the Manchester encoding data rate.
