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 />
