Abstract
The course addresses a rapidly evolving area of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a wireless technology based on modulated backscatter. A good practical knowledge of various system parts (readers, channel, tags) and associated tradeoffs is important for understanding and optimizing RFID system performance. This course concentrates on UHF RFID and covers basics of RFID tags, readers and systems. It includes examples, experimental measurements, and simple models which can be used for analysis and design of various practical RFID systems. The course also includes a practical overview of state-of-the art localization techniques in RFID.
Syllabus
- RFID operating principles, backscattering fundamentals, link budget
- Tag, reader, and system characteristics
- Testing and measurement systems and methods
- Overview of wireless localization
- RFID localization methods (within and outside Gen2)
- Recent topics on RFID (including tag-to-tag communications)
