ABSTRACT:
Transponders in a system execute commands issued by an interrogator. The interrogator sends out interrogation signals, and a transponder answers with a start signal. The interrogator then modifies its interrogation signal and this causes the answering transponder to send an identification signal and the other transponders to be silent for a time period. The interrogator subsequently sends a second modification of the interrogation signal and a command which causes the other transponders to remain silent for a period of time, and the answering transponder to execute the command. Repeated modified interrogation signals and additional commands can be sent so that the other transponders remain silent while the answering transponder executes the commands. After a certain time following the last modified interrogation signal and executed command, the transponders return to the non-silent state. Time is measured by local counters in each transponder.
