A New CMOS Implementation for Miniaturized Active RFID Insect Tag and VHF Insect Tracking

This paper proposes a new circuit design for Very High Frequency (VHF) radio telemetry, in order to miniaturize active RFID tags for tracking small insects and bees. It presents a CMOS insect-tag implementation for generating 150 MHz burst-mode signaling scheme by employing digital approach which was not reported before. This design is vastly different from many presently available VHF tags which ...
