초록

본 논문에서는 다중 직교 부반송파 변조 기반의 새로운 UHF RFID 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 태그 송신-리더 수신 통신에서는 4 부반송파를 이용하여 1.6 Mbps까지 전송속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 회로의 복잡도 증가를 억제하면서도 전송 속도를 향상시키기 위해서, 태그는 부반송파로서 구형파를 사용하고 각 부반송파는 각각의 부하변조기를 이용한다. 다중 직교 부반송파 기반의 변조 방식을 사용하였기 때문에 제안한 통신 방식은 기존의 UHF 대역 RFID 규격을 만족한다. 리더는 OFDM 복조기를 사용한다. 태그가 리더의 CW 반송파를 역산란하므로 리더 복조기에는 반송파 주파수 오프셋 보정회로는 필요하지 않다. 실험에서는 개발 시스템은 10.8 dB의 잡음 밀도당 비트에너지 비에서 10-5의 비트오율 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

This paper presents a novel multiple orthogonal subcarrier modulation based UHF band RFID communication system. In tag-to-reader communication, the demonstration system can deliver 1.6 Mbps through four subcarriers. To improve data rate while suppressing increase in circuit complexity, tag employs square-waves as the subcarriers and uses individual load modulators for each subcarrier. By using multiple orthogonal subcarrier based modulation, proposed communication system can be operated under existing UHF band RFID regulation. In reader, an OFDM demodulator is used. Since the tag backscatters the reader's CW carrier, carrier frequency offset compensation is not necessary in reader demodulator. Experimental results show that the demonstration system achieves a bit error rate of 10-5 at an Eb/N0 of 10.8 dB.
