Step 1: Extraction of the design specifications for the target application:
System Design Steps:System Design Steps:
Step2: Calculation of the power budget:
Step3: Selection of the uplink modulation scheme (Reader to tag):
The frequency of operation (range of operation, complexity, and penetrating capability)The antenna directivity (expected direction of the communication link) The data rate (amount of data exchanged, and the required on-time of the tag)

• Low frequency means simple and cheap tag and large antenna size
• High frequency means complex and expensive tags and smaller antenna

ASK, PWM or FSK can be used.
Random data transmitted should not affect the power received by the tag.Clock recovery scheme should be included.
A M S C
PWM scheme provides signal power for transmission of both “0” and “1” and clock is recovered internally.
On/Off Keying lacks signal power for certain data bits and requires a coding scheme for clock recovery and to maintain tag power.

Downlink Data Modulation:Downlink Data Modulation:
Changing the input impedance of the tag antenna changes the amplitude, or phase of the back scattered signal introducing Backscatter Modulation.
A modulation scheme with a low-power implementation is required.

It makes use of RF-DC conversion and subsequent voltage regulation to obtain the desired stable power supply.
Performance is affected by the choice of the downlink and uplink modulation schemes
