SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves) ID (identification) tags have been designed and implemented for RFID (Radio frequency IDentification) systems. With SAW ID tag of pulse position encoding method, the data capacity increased 3 times compared with SAW ID tag of amplitude on/off method. Two different kinds of SAW ID tag receiver systems, heterodyne and homodyne receiver systems, were made. The direct conversion receiver showed better isolation property, 10 dB improvement than the heterodyne receiver to increase wireless interrogation distance.

In this paper, it can be applied to a walkie-talkie, the RFID / USN 920 MHz band(917~923.5 MHz) and WiFi 2.4GHz band(2.4~2.483 5GHz) return loss is 10 dB over the band, on-board dual band with omni-directional radiation characteristics is proposed. The basic structure designed antenna is used meander monopole antenna. It was used as double stubs and tabs for antenna designs that meet the criteria proposed. The double stub and the tab affects the reactance of the antenna to form a common-mode and differential-mode in the stub to improve the antenna characteristics and return loss in the bandwidth, gain and radiation characteristics. The system size of walkie-talkie is $52{\times}77mm^2$, the size of the antenna is limited to $52{\times}15mm^2$, the thickness of FR4 dielectric substrate is 0.8 mm, FR4 dielectric constant 4.4 is used. For experimental results, the return loss is measured more than 10 dB, the maximum gain is measured 1.95 dB, the maximum bandwidth is measured 360 MHz, the radiation characteristic is measured omni-directional. By a walkie-talkie terminal design applying the results of the paper, the handset's price competitiveness and production efficiency can be improved.

Construction supply chain management (CSCM) has become one of the critical factors that determine the success of a construction project as it becomes increasingly complicated and mega-sized. Particularly for high-rise or mega-sized building construction, just-in-time supply chain management is required due to lack of storage space and effective logistics for construction components and materials at a construction site. Despite the fact that research and development of radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have been performed, construction project managers still need to carry mobile devices and check material and component flow at each stage of the supply chain process. This research proposes that the equipment used in the construction supply chain process, such as movers, trailers, gates, and hoists, can become main actors in the supply chain process using RFID and WSN technologies. And the proposed equipment and process focused on a solution to the redundancy identification problem, which has been observed in operations that use RFID/WSN-based processes for construction logistics. This paper also presents issues identified through verification and validation of the research results and proposes further studies.

In this paper, the design method for a high-sensitivity compact resonator for chipless RFID tags is proposed. Proposed high-sensitivity compact resonator uses an interdigital-capacitor structure instead of a capacitor-shaped strip structure in a conventional ELC resonator. The length of the electrode plate of the IDC structure is longer than that of the conventional capacitor-shaped structure, resulting in a larger equivalent capacitance of the resonator. This can lower the resonant peak frequency of the RCS characteristic. Two resonators with the same length of the square loop and the width of the strip are fabricated on an RF-301 substrate with a thickness of 0.8 mm. The experiment results show that the resonant peak frequency and value of the bistatic RCS for the ELC resonator were 4.305 GHz and -30.39 dBsm, whereas those of the proposed IDC resonator were 3.295 GHz and -36.91 dBsm. Therefore, the size of the resonator is reduced by 23.5% based on the measured resonant peak frequency of the RCS characteristic.

Wideband terminal and base station is required to serve not only existing 1st and 2nd generation mobile communication systems but also 3rd generation systems. In this paper, we present a feasibility study on coaxial feed compact wideband antenna for UHF RFID reader application. The original antenna was designed for partial discharge detection sensor in high voltage diagnostic system. However, we modified the original prototype to achieve shifted down resonant frequency for wideband wireless communication applications. The experimental result shows good return loss characteristics and radiation patterns except for the total gain at each resonant frequency. The maximum measured gain was 2.45 dBi$\sim$3.18 dBi at 910MHz.

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.

본 논문에서는 UHF대역 RFID 통신 시스템 간에 발생하는 리더 간섭을 방지하기 위한 전파흡수체를 설계 및 제작하였다. 먼저 자성손실 재료인 Amorphous와 지지재인 CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene)를 이용하여 조성비별 전파흡수체 샘플을 제작하였고, 이 전파흡수체 샘플로부터 구한 재료정수를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 한 결과 최적의 조성비가 Amorphous: CPE = 80 : 20 wt.% 임을 확인하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 결과를 토대로 전파흡수체를 실제작하여 전파흡수능을 비교 ${\cdot}$ 분석하였다. 그 결과 Amorphous : CPE = 80 : 20 wt.%의 조성비 일 때, 두께 4mm 의 전파 흡수체가 860 MHz ${\sim}$ 960 MHz의 주파수 범위에서 전파흡수능 20 dB 이상의 특성을 얻음으로써 UHF대역의 RFID 리더 간섭을 억제할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This letter presents the design for a low-profile planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) that can be stuck to metallic objects to create a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag in the UHF band. The designed PIFA, which uses a dielectric substrate for the antenna, consists of a U-slot patch for size reduction, several shorting pins, and a coplanar waveguide feeding structure to easily integrate with an RFID chip. The impedance bandwidth and maximum gain of the tag antenna are about 0.3% at 914 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 2 and 3.6 dBi, respectively. The maximum read range is about 4.5 m as long as the tag antenna is on a metallic object.

This paper describes a wide bandwidth RFID tag antenna design for protection of connection part between chip and antenna. A proposed tag antenna size, a resonant frequency and bandwidth are $53{\times}10{\times}1\;mm$, 900 MHz and 800 MHz($500{\sim}1,300\;MHz$) at -10 dB below, respectively. The dielectric materials with different relative permittivity such as polyethylene, glass and silicon were applied for protection of connection part between the proposed antenna and chip on the way of whole and partial housing. The measured return loss and radiation pattern agreed well with the calculation results. The read range of the proposed tag antenna without any housing and of tag antenna with housing covered over all by silicon with 3 mm thickness were observed about 5 m and 4 m, respectively.
