The tags consist of absorbing tiles of size 30 × 30 cm2. The de-signs of these narrow band absorbers are presented based on infinite array approximation by using periodic boundary conditions. Then, the radar cross sections (RCS) of finite tiles of these designed absorbers are compared with the corresponding RCS of a conduction plate of the same size of the tiles. The difference between the RCS of the absorbing tiles and the conducting tiles corresponds to the RFID digit “1” or “0”. An experiential verification for a sample of these narrow band absorbers is presented based on measuring a fi-nite tile inside a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell. The design of this TEM cell is also discussed in detail.展开更多

The so-called tag collision is that a reader cannot identify a tag when more than one tags respond to a reader at the same time. There are some major anti-collision protocols on resolving tag collision, e.g., ALOHA-based protocol, binary tree protocol, and Query Tree (QT) protocol. Up to date, most tag anti-collision protocols are QT protocols. QT protocols are categorized into M-ary query tree (QT). In the previous literature, choosing M = 3 (i.e., a ternary QT (TQT)) was proven to have the optimum performance for tag identification. Recently, Yeh et al. used parallel response approach to reduce the number of collisions. In this paper, we combine the partial response and TQT to propose an effective parallel response TQT (PRTQT) protocol. Simulation results reveal that our PRTQT outperforms Yeh et al.’s protocol and TQT protocol.展开更多

One of the major problems to be addressed, particularly for monitoring purposes, is their limited power autonomy. Tags must perform different tasks with limited power consumption and their batteries capacities are often too low, even if low power consumption techniques are implemented. In these operational situations tags should be kept in operation for long periods of time and the common solution is to go directly where they are installed and recharge them manually or change their batteries;alternatively, when possible, small photovoltaic (PV) panels may be adopted. This paper proposes a feasibility analysis of how it is possible to recharge a multipurpose RFID tag using a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), which is programmed to go above the tags and recharge them. This possibility is analyzed from an energetic point of view assuming to recharge a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using a common commercial UAV adequately instrumented using the wireless power transfer technique.展开更多

Reading is possible up to 50 cm from the surface of a mortar block for a tag embedded 5 cm below the surface. This result is the first published one for RFID tags embedded in concrete or mortar.展开更多
