Applying passive RFID system to wireless headphones for extreme low power consumption

Published: 08 June 2008 Publication History

Abstract

One of major design concerns about wireless headphone is power consumption. In this paper, we propose a novel design for extreme low power headphone implementation by extending the EPC Class-1 Generation 2 RFID protocol for delivering stream data. We prototyped a reader as a stream generator, and a passive tag as an audio receiver to consume less power than any other protocols for wireless headphones.
