Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that automates routine procedures of data extraction, identification, tracking and surveillance in applications such as inventory control and logistics. The unit cost of conventional RFID tags is too high for them to be used in large item level tagging applications. This is because of the expensive electronic integrated circuits (ICs) used in the tags. As a solution to further reduce the cost of RFID tags, chipless RFID tags have been developed. A chipless RFID tag does not require an IC for its operation.Current research on chipless RFID technology has been focused on, the development of tag designs with enhanced data capacity, the development of tags with sensing capabilities, and the development of RFID reader architectures and signal processing algorithms. Despite current research efforts, further work is required in the area of signal processing for chipless RFID. For this purpose, three novel signal processing methods are introduced in this thesis, (i) development of a robust multidimensional detection algorithm for detecting data bits encoded in a chipless RFID tag, (ii) time and frequency domain analysis of backscattered tag signals for the removal of interference, and (iii) a new systematic calibration procedure for single antenna RFID readers. These methods enhance the performance of chipless RFID systems in terms of the data bit detection and reading range. Existing algorithms used for detecting data bits encoded in a frequency signature of a chipless RFID tag use a one dimensional approach to detection. The one dimensional approach to detection does not consider all the characteristics of the spectral features that encode data bits in a frequency signature. Therefore, the detection performance achieved is suboptimal. In order to enhance the detection performance, a new multidimensional detection method is introduced. The new method utilizes a set of orthonormal basis functions to fully describe the characteristics of a frequency signature. Using these orthonormal basis functions a frequency signature is represented as a signal point in a multidimensional signal space. The detection of data bits contained in an unknown frequency signature is performed using minimum distance detection. It is shown that the performance achieved by the new method exceeds the performance of existing one dimensionalthreshold based detection of tag data bits.The second method proposed in the thesis focuses on improving the reading range of an RFID reader beyond proximity based reading. For this purpose, the total received signal at an RFID reader is analysed in the time domain as well as the frequency domain to identify the essential signal component that contains the tag data. It is shown that the useful data is contained in the antenna mode of the backscattered tag response. The antenna mode backscatter is separated from therest of the received signal using a time window. The separated antenna mode is then analysed in the frequency domain to estimate the tag's frequency signature. Through this time and frequency domain analysis, non-proximity based reading is achieved. It is shown that the tag can be read in non-proximity reading conditions using simulation results and measurements taken in an anechoic chamber environment.The final method introduced in the thesis is a systematic calibration procedure for single antenna based chipless RFID readers. The calibration procedure takes into account practical conditions prevailing in a real world application environment. The calibration allows the RFID reader to accurately estimate the frequency signature of a chipless RFID tag in a cluttered environment. It also addresses the limitations of existing calibration methods used for chipless RFID systems such as the need for repeated calibration and antenna alignment.

Book Synopsis Readers for Frequency Signature-based Chipless RFID Tags by : Randika Vishwajith Koswatta
Download or read book Readers for Frequency Signature-based Chipless RFID Tags written by Randika Vishwajith Koswatta and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are currently a major research area globally. Most of the RFID tags available in the market use application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) which are expensive compared to other tagging techniques. RFID can only compete with, even and replace barcodes if they are made chipless and printed like the barcodes. Chipless RFID tags reduce the manufacturing costs and enable the use of the technology in high volume applications. Much research has been carried out on the development of chipless RFID tags. However, only a limited amount of work has been carried out on the development of chipless RFID readers.This thesis presents the design of three novel, very low-cost chipless RFID readers for reading spectral signature-based chipless RFID tags. Two of the readers use frequency domain-based techniques to decode data from the chipless tags. The Gen-1 reader is capable of detecting the features of amplitude and phase signature of a chipless RFID tag. The reader requires a calibration measurement. The detection process is more hardware-based and fewer signal processing techniques are used.The Gen-2 reader reconstructs the amplitude and phase responses using the signals received from the chipless RFID tags. The reader does not need a calibration measurement, which offers a major improvement over the predecessors. The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) of the reader generates a linear chirp (swept) frequency interrogation signal. The Gen-2 reader is even lower-cost compared to the Gen-1 and has a simpler RF section. The detection process uses a Hilbert transform-based signal processing technique to re-construct the amplitude and phase responses of the chipless tag. The operation of both Gen-1 and Gen-2 readers are validated experimentally.The tag reading speed is hindered by the performance of the VCO and the number of data points required in frequency domain-based readers. A novel high-speed tag reading technique based on ultra-wideband RF pulses is proposed in this research. The proposed method is validated with simulations. The integrated reader is a complete system with an RF section, a digital section and a graphical user interface (GUI) and software interface.Most of the existing UWB antenna designs are not suitable for chipless RFID applications due to their low gain or physical size. Hence, in addition to the readers, a design of novel UWB antenna is also proposed in this research work to use with the readers. The antenna is compact and high gain and provides UWB operation with over 9 dB gain and 3.9-10 GHz operating frequency band.The unique features of the developed chipless RFID reader systems are (i) low cost, (ii) secure and (iii) remote and non-line of sight operability. The importance of these developments lies in the fact that they enable the development of low-cost chipless RFID systems comparable to other cheap tagging systems such as optical barcodes.

Download or read book Chipless RFID based on RF Encoding Particle written by Arnaud Vena and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chipless RFID based on RF Encoding Particle: Realization, Coding and Reading System explores the field of chipless identification based on the RF Encoding Particle (REP). The book covers the possibility of collecting information remotely with RF waves (RFID) with totally passive tags without wire, batteries, and chips, and even printed on paper. Despite the many benefits of RFID, deployment is still hindered by several economic and technological factors. Among these barriers are the high cost of tags, lack of reliability and security in the information contained in the RFID chip, and how tags are 'recycled.' This book focuses on the development of chipless RFID tags, representing a new family of low cost tags. With this technology information is extracted from the electromagnetic response of the tag, which depends only on its geometry. Various solutions have been developed by the authors to increase the amount of information, reduce the surface of the tag, or improve the robustness of detection. Considerations such as realization using paper substrate, the development of a low cost detection system, and measurements in a real environment have been addressed for practical implementation. Introduces the chipless RFID REP approach as compared to classical chipless RFID, RFID, and barcode technologies Includes a demonstration of the practical and economic potential of chipless RFID technology, with detailed presentations and discussions of different test benches and comparisons Presents in detail numerous examples of chipless tags that are able to tackle specific problems: sensitivity of detection, encoding density, robustness of detection, problem of tag orientation, tags and reader cost, and compliance with emission standards Focuses on the development of chipless RFID tags, representing a new family of low cost tags
Book Synopsis Chipless RFID Authentication by : Zeshan Ali
Download or read book Chipless RFID Authentication written by Zeshan Ali and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chipless RFID Authentication examines the development of highly secure product authentication systems for manufactured products by using chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The absence of a chip and its compatibility with mass production make chipless RFID an alternative to barcodes. This book discusses how, by using natural randomness inherent to the fabrication process, each chipless RFID tag has a unique signature that can never be reproduced, even if someone tries to copy the label. The book first explores the state-of-the-art of existing authentication and anti-counterfeiting methods based on their security level. Next, a methodology describing the characterization of chipless RFID tags for the authentication application is presented, followed by a discussion of the extraction of aspect-independent parameters for chipless RFID tags. After proposing designs for the tags, the book presents the realization and characterization of the labels (which exhibit naturally occurring randomness) for authentication, using printed circuit boards and inkjet printing on polyethylene terephthalate.

Book Synopsis Smart Tag Detection Techniques for Chipless RFID Systems by : Chamath Malinda Divarathne
Download or read book Smart Tag Detection Techniques for Chipless RFID Systems written by Chamath Malinda Divarathne and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology used to automatically identify objects attached to its tags. Its applications span in different areas such as inventory control, logistics, security and item tracking. Vast majority of commercially available RFID tags use Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to encode and transmit data. This micro-chip in the RFID tag makes the tag manufacturing process complicated and expensive compared to optical barcode printing. Researchers have brought the idea of removing the micro-chip and using chipless techniques to encode data into tags, allowing them to be passive, printable and low cost. However, chipless RFID technologies have still not been able to replace relatively expensive chipped RFID tags mainly due to less tag bit capacity. Over the last decade, researchers have mainly focused on improving the chipless RFID tag design and the RFID reader architecture. However, they were mostly using primitive signal processing techniques such as moving average or threshold based detection. The few advanced signal processing techniques reported so far have high computation complexity, hence not feasible for commercial implementation.This thesis presents smart tag detection techniques that are computationally feasible and allowing high tag data encoding capacity. Firstly, four different maximum likelihood (ML) based tag detection techniques have been developed based on the reader architecture and channel knowledge. In addition, all of them are able to operate based on both the time and frequency domain data samples of any frequency domain tag. One of the detection techniques jointly detects the channel as well as the tag type without having any prior channel knowledge or a calibration tag. A fifth tag detection technique was developed for an existing frequency domain tag reader using the magnitude of the tag response. However, these single input single output (SISO) based tag detection techniques suffer from high computation complexity. Two new detection methods have been developed using the likelihood expressions derived in above techniques to reduce the computation complexity from exponential to linear order. The first method was a suboptimal bit by bit detection technique (serial reading) and the second method is a fully optimal Trellis tree based Viterbi decoding technique. Then a novel, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) based chipless RFID system was introduced and a tag detection technique for the proposed system was developed. Finally a MIMO chipless tag was designed which includes a broadband equal power divider, monopole antennas and spiral resonators.It was found that, the proposed tag detection techniques for SISO systems provides significantly higher tag reading accuracy over the existing threshold based detector. In addition, they are capable of operating without a guard-band which makes the tag data bit capacity to be doubled without compromising the reading accuracy. Moreover, the effective SNR gain provided by the proposed techniques can be represented as increasing the tag reading range. All these benefits were achieved without compromising the low computation complexity. The MIMO tag with 2 branches is capable of encoding up to 4 times the total bits stored in existing SISO tags.These smart tag detection techniques are expected to increase the data bit capacity in chipless RFID tags hence produce commercialized chipless RFID systems in future.

Yet despite optimistic projections of a market worth $25 billion by 2018, potential users are concerned about costs and investment returns. Clearly demonstrating the need for a fully printable chipless RFID tag as well as a powerful and efficient reader to assimilate the tag’s data, this book moves on to describe both. Introducing the general concepts in the field including technical data, it then describes how a chipless RFID tag can be made using a planar disc-loaded monopole antenna and an asymmetrical coupled spiral multi-resonator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been employed in mainstream applications for asset management, storage of goods, security, transportation and logistics. The RFID sensor has features which can revolutionize the field of automated object identification in conjunction with condition monitoring. In this research, a novel chipless RFID sensor platform is proposed for wireless sensing of tagged objects. Since the proposed chipless RFID sensor does not require any on-board micro-chip and power source, it has great potential for low-cost, maintenance-free, automated and robust applications. The aim of this research is to develop single node multi-parameter sensing chipless RFID sensors in versatile RF sensing applications. This PhD thesis involves developing novel multi-resonator chipless RFID sensor platforms for three potential RF sensing applications: (i) non-invasive radiometric partial discharge (PD) detection and localization of faulty power apparatus, (ii) electromagnetic (EM) sensors for real time environment monitoring, and finally, (iii) RF memory sensors for event detection. Each development involves the problem identification, research hypothesis, physical layer design of the sensor tag, prototype fabrication and experimentation. Finally, a chipless RFID sensor for multiple parameter sensing is proposed for both real-time environment monitoring and event detection. In the first phase of this research, a passive radio frequency (RF) sensor has been developed for non-invasive radiometric detection of simultaneous PD signals in high voltage (HV) apparatus such as transformers, overhead lines, capacitor banks and circuit breakers. The sensor comprises passive multi-resonator circuit and an antenna for capturing PD as well as providing ID of faulty equipment. The low-cost RF sensor is installed in individual HV apparatus for monitoring their PD events. The chipless RFID based PD sensor addresses PD monitoring, PD detection and faulty source identification.In the second phase, a low-cost, printable chipless RFID tag sensor is developed for real-time environment monitoring. The chipless RFID tag sensor provides identification data and monitors a number of physical parameters of tagged objects and the surrounding environment. The RF sensor measures physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and pH level of tagged objects. The RFID sensor is based on planar, single-sided resonant scatterers for generating data ID and carrying sensing information in the frequency spectrum. Environment sensing is incorporated using smart polymer materials, which exhibit dielectric change to particular physical parameters. Our proposed chipless RFID sensor comprises a planar multi-slot resonator as an ID generation circuit and an electric field coupled LC (ELC) resonator coated with a smart material layer as a sensing circuit on a compact planar layout. A novel feature of the developed sensor is its ability to combine multiple physical parameter sensing in the same chipless RFID platform for ubiquitous condition monitoring. In this research firstly, a humidity sensor is proposed, as it is one of the most critical physical parameters for environment monitoring. Next, a chipless RFID memory sensor is developed for violation of temperature threshold. The memory sensor uses a smart material which exhibit permanent dielectric change when certain temperature threshold is reached. The sensor operates as a memory device to store occurrence of a particular event. The temperature threshold sensor can also incorporate real time humidity sensing within the same chipless RFID tag platform. Hence a chipless RFID sensor for multiple parameters sensing capability is developed.Reading of chipless RFID sensor is a non-trivial task. A chipless RFID sensor tag is a minute radar target for the reader. New reader architecture to read the tag is proposed in this thesis. The reader comprises RF, digital and power control modules to interrogate the tag sensor, captures backscattered RF response and performs necessary signal processing for data decoding.Finally, the thesis summarizes the major challenges in realizing a fully-printable chipless sensor on flexible substrates. Potential future research directions in sensor fabrication, chipless RFID reader development, and sensor calibration methods are discussed. With its simultaneous identification and sensing capabilities, the low cost fully printable chipless RFID sensor will revolutionise emerging fields such as internet of thing (IoT) and smart cities.
