Abstract
An RFID system comprises a reader and a tag, and this paper focuses on a tag design. A UHF tag is activated by energy supply using electromagnetic waves and energy reflection through impedance mismatching. The tag uses a $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process and comprises a digital part executing tag protocols, a 512-bit memory, and an analog part having a rectifier, a modulation/demodulation unit, a clock generator, etc. The total dimension of the tag, including a saw line, is $750{\mu}m*750{\mu}m$ and the power consumption of the tag consumption power is about $17.8{\mu}W$ at a supply voltage of 2V.
