`The disclosures of the aforementioned U.S. Patent Application and the U.S.
`
`Provisional Application are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0002] Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems typically include RFID
`
`readers, also known as RFID reader/writers or RFID interrogators, and RFID tags.
`
`RFID systems can be used in many ways for locating and identifying objects to which
`
`the tags are attached. RFID systems are useful in product-related and service-related
`
`industries for tracking objects being processed, inventoried, or handled. In such cases,
`
`an RFID tag is usually attached to an individual item, or to its package.
`
`[0003] In principle, RFID techniques entail using an RFID reader to interrogate one
`
`or more RFID tags. The reader transmitting a Radio Frequency (RF) wave performs
`
`the interrogation. The RF wave is typically electromagnetic, at least in the far field.
`
`The RF wave can also be predominantly electric or magnetic in the near field. The RF
`
`wave may encode one or more commands that instruct the tags to perform one or
`
`more actions.
`
`[0004] A tag that senses the interrogating RF wave may respond by transmitting back
`
`another RF wave. The tag either generates the transmitted back RF wave originally, or
`
`by reflecting back a portion of the interrogating RF wave in a process known as
`
`backscatter. Backscatter may take place in a number of ways.
`
`[0005] The reflected-back RF wave may encode data stored in the tag, such as a
`
`number. The response is demodulated and decoded by the reader, which thereby
`
`identifies, counts, or otherwise interacts with the associated item. The decoded data
`
`can denote a serial number, a price, a date, a time, a destination, an encrypted
`

`
`

`

`message, an electronic signature, other attribute(s), any combination of attributes, and
`
`so on. Accordingly, when a reader receives tag data it can learn about the item that
`
`hosts the tag and/or about the tag itself.
`
`[0006] An RFID tag typically includes an antenna section, a radio section, a power(cid:173)
`
`management section, and frequently a logical section, a memory, or both. In some
`
`RFID tags the power-management section included an energy storage device such as a
`
`battery. RFID tags with an energy storage device are known as battery-assisted, semi(cid:173)
`
`active, or active tags. Other RFID tags can be powered solely by the RF signal they
`
`receive. Such RFID tags do not include an energy storage device and are called
`
`passive tags. Of course, even passive tags typically include temporary energy- and
`
`data/flag-storage elements such as capacitors or inductors.
`
`[0007] An RFID tag may include a matching network coupled between the tag IC and
`
`the tag antenna and configured to match the input impedance of the tag IC to the
`
`impedance of the tag antenna. Matching the tag IC input impedance to the tag antenna
`
`impedance may improve power transfer from RF signals incident on the antenna to
`
`the IC. However, antenna and IC impedances may vary based on, for example,
`
`environmental conditions or IC processing. Accordingly, a matching network that
`
`matches antenna and IC impedances for one tag and one frequency in a particular
`
`environment may not match antenna and IC impedances for a different tag, different
`
`frequency, and/or different environment.
`
`BRIEF SU:MlVIARY
`
`[0008] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified
`
`form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is
`
`not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject
`
`matter, nor is it intended as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject
`
`matter.
`
`[0009] Embodiments are directed to an RFID IC operating at a relatively low clock
`
`frequency while impedance matching to an antenna is being tuned to vary the amount
`
`of power that the IC can extract from an incident RF wave. A tuning circuit tunes the
`
`impedance matching by adjusting a variable impedance coupling the IC and the
`
`antenna. The IC may power-up with a low clock frequency or reduce its current clock
`
`frequency to a lower clock frequency prior to tuning or during the tuning process, and

`
`

`

`may increase its clock frequency upon completion of tuning or during the tuning
`
`process.
`
`[0010] These and other features and advantages will be apparent from a reading of the
`
`following detailed description and a review of the associated drawings. It is to be
`
`understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed
`
`description are explanatory only and are not restrictive of aspects as claimed.
