Duo-PIC separate TX-RX design 62.0172<br />

Duo-PIC separate TX-RX uni-antenna design 77.7172<br />

Uni-PIC separate TX-RX design 58.8572<br />

5.4 Amplifier<br />

An amplifier is important in Single processor transceiver design as the maximum<br />

output power that can be achievable with CC1101 transceiver is + 10dBm. The<br />

protocol allows a maximum power of +30dBm [3]. So we could use an external<br />

amplifier that can amplify the signal. Some advantages of using amplifier are<br />

• Will increase read range.<br />

• Keeps the Tags in active state.<br />

• Gives an opportunity to design a simple reader with no limit to power.<br />

Some disadvantages of using amplifier are<br />

• Increased cost.<br />

• Will also amplifies the noise in the channel.<br />

• Some loss in data due to inbuilt filters.<br />

5.5 Summary<br />

A low cost UHF RFID Reader can be used in different applications. One of the<br />

important application we intend to use this design is for a Blocking Reader. Now a<br />

low cost Blocking Reader can be used to preserve privacy of the Tags. Later in this<br />

thesis we discuss how this design is implemented and show the performance of the<br />

working Blocking Reader.<br />
