TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER FOR COMBINING RFID AMPLITUDE-MODULATED DATA WITH WIRELESS PHASE-MODULATED DATA
First Claim
1. A transmitter, comprising:
- a processing module operable to generate outbound non-amplitude modulated symbols from first outbound data and to generate outbound amplitude modulated symbols from second outbound data;
a combiner coupled to modulate the amplitude modulated symbols onto a signal carrying the non-amplitude modulated symbols to produce a combined outbound RF signal; and
a power amplifier module coupled to amplify the combined outbound RF signal.

Abstract
A transmitter and receiver for combining RFID amplitude-modulated data with wireless phase-modulated data is realized by a processing module coupled to generate outbound non-amplitude modulated symbols from first outbound data, to generate outbound amplitude modulated symbols from second outbound data, to generate first inbound data from inbound non-amplitude modulated symbols, and to generate second inbound data from inbound amplitude modulated symbols, a combiner coupled to modulate the amplitude modulated symbols onto a signal carrying the non-amplitude modulated symbols to produce a combined outbound RF signal and a splitter coupled to convert a combined inbound RF signal into inbound non-amplitude modulated symbols and into inbound amplitude modulated symbols.
