1. A method for a circuit of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, the method including:

  • receiving a modulated wireless RF input signal;

    deriving an analog output signal responsive to the modulated wireless RF input signal at an envelope detector;

    deriving a first unfiltered digital output signal responsive to the analog output signal and to a first analog decision threshold at a first slicer circuit;

    deriving a second unfiltered digital output signal responsive to the analog output signal and to a second analog decision threshold at a second slicer circuit; and

    deriving a filtered digital output signal at a selection circuit by selecting one of the first and second unfiltered digital outputs at a multiplexer of the selection circuit and configuring the multiplexer by a digital decision circuit based on a performance criterion.
