ABSTRACT:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) device with two or more antennas may select one antenna to backscatter or otherwise transmit, while deriving power from receipt of a carrier wave at one or more other antennas. The RFID device may select the antenna receiving the lower power or producing the lower voltage to transmit. The RFID device may select the antenna receiving the higher power or producing the higher voltage to transmit if the lower power or voltage is insufficient to operate the RFID device to backscatter or transmit. The RFID device may select neither antenna to transmit if the higher power or voltages are insufficient to operate the RFID device to backscatter or transmit.
