A Novel Vernier-based Time to Digital Converter for Low-power RFID Sensor Tags
Abstract
Power consumption is a key factor in analogue and digital design for portable devices. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is widely used in industry, military and medical purposes. This technology operates with very low power consumption. Power consumption in passive tags is negligible and in fact, power consumption delimits the sensor tag’s life-time and range.
