In this paper, we analyze the performance of a direct-conversion UHF RFID reader with the range correlation effects of the phase noise. Since a UHF RFIB system uses the same oscillator to generate the transmitted carrier and the local oscillation, the periodic interference and phase noise reduction effects occur due to time delay between two signals. Through exact theory and simulation, we verify how to cancel the periodic interference phenomena using I/Q diversity combining technique. And, we analyze phase noise reduction effects due to range correlation as a function of the tag-reader distance and the offset frequency Using these results, we simulate the symbol-error-rate performance with respect to phase noise with and without range correation effects. We show that the phase noise of the local oscillator has little effect on the symbol-error-rate performance because of phase noise reduction by range correlation.

RFID is a technology that uses radio frequency to read information in tags attached to objects or people. Because it reads the information without contact when tracking the location using tags in a RFID system, there can be errors between the actual position and measured position. In this paper, three methods (the method of radiation pattern, the method of the median value, and the method using both the radiation pattern and median value) are proposed to identify the location of objects or people using the RFID technique. The location identification system based on RFID was constructed and tags were arranged in a square pattern. The real location and experimentally predicted location of an object containing a reader were compared to confirm the error. Instead of the existing papers that obtained the approximately location of a reader by calculating the center of gravity of all tags read by that reader, in this study, the predicted location was obtained by the median value and the radiation pattern. This study validated which method was the most efficient among the three methods proposed in this paper through the data of the read tags. As a result, the method of the median value had the smallest error among those assessed.

This paper has implemented a very small($1.4{\times}2.8[Cm^2]$) 13.56[MHz] RFID reader ensuring machine ID recognition correctly in a noise space of Tag-to-Reader within 3Cm. For operation of the RFID system, at first, this paper has designed the loop antenna of a reader and the fading model of back-scattering on microwave propagation following to 13.56[MHz] RFID Air Interface ISO/IEC specification. Secondly, this paper has proposed the automatically path selected RF switching circuit and the firmware operation relationship by measuring and analyzing the very small RFID RF issues. Finally, as a very small reader main body, this paper has shown the DSP board and software functions made for extraction of $1{\sim}2$ machine ID information and error prevention simultaneously with carrying of 13.56[MHz] RFID signals that the international standard specification ISO/IEC 18000-3 defined.

In this paper, we propose the location measurement algorithm of unknown tag based on RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) by using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) and extended Kalman filter in smart space. To do this, first, we recognize the location of unknown tag by using the RSSI and TDOA recognition methods. Second, we set the coordinate of the tag location measured by using trilateration and SX algorithm. But the tag location data measured by this method are included complex environmental error. So, we use the extended Kalman filter in order to revise error data of the tag location. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method though the simulation in a complex environment.

Positioning technology for moving object is an important and essential component of ubiquitous. Also RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a core technology of ubiquitous wireless communication. In this study we adapted kalman-filter theory to RFID-based Positioning System in order to trace a time-variant moving object and verify the positioning accuracy using RMSE (Roong technology for moving object is an important and essential component of ubiquitous Mean Square Error). The purpose of this study is to verify an effect of kalman-filter on the positioning accuracy and to analyze what does each design factor have an effect on the positioning accuracy by means of simulations and to suggest a standard of optimal design factor of a RFID-based Positioning System. From the results of simulations, Kalman-filer improved the positioning accuracy remarkably; the detection range of RFID tag is not a determining factor. The smaller standard deviation of detection range improves the positioning accuracy. However it accompanies a smaller fluctuation of the positioning accuracy. The larger detection rate of RFID tag yields the smaller fluctuation in the positioning accuracy and has more stable system and improves the positioning accuracy;

시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 실시간으로 정보를 전달받을 수 있는 유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 있어서 실시간으로 움직이는 대상물의 위치를 알아내는 기술은 가장 근본적이며 필수적인 요소라 할 수 있다. 추측항법(Dead Reckoning)은 움직이는 대상물에 외부의 도움 없이 자신의 방향각과 가속도, 시간을 관측할 수 있는 관성항법장치(Inertial Navigation System)를 장착하여 이전의 위치 정보를 바탕으로 현재의 위치를 관측하는 방법이다. 또한 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)는 이러한 유비쿼터스 근거리무선통신의 핵심 기술로서 본 논문에서는 RFID에 기반한 위치 결정 시스템에 실시간 변화하는 대상물의 위치를 예측하기 위해 추측항법과 칼만필터(Kalman-filter)의 개념을 적용시켰다. 또한 RMSE(Root Mean Square Error)값을 통해 칼만필터의 적용에 따른 정확도의 향상과 각 디자인 요소들의 변화에 따라 위치의 정확도가 어떠한 변화를 갖는지를 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 칼만필터를 적용했을 때 이전보다 RMSE값이 현저히 작아지는 결과를 통해 위치의 정확도가 크게 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 RFID의 탐지 범위는 정확도에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 주된 요소가 아니며, RFID 탐지 범위의 표준편차가 작을수록 위치 정확도는 높아지고, RFID 태그의 탐지 확률이 높을수록 RMSE 값의 변동이 작은 안정된 시스템을 갖으며 위치의 정확도 또한 높아진다는 것을 확인하였다.

In recent years, RFID is widely used in industrial applications including factory, material flow, logistics and defense areas. In this paper, The convolutional encoding and viterbi decoding is also implemented to improve the system performance. in an FPGA chip. The used convolution code is constraint length K=3 and rate R=1/2. The length of command frame and response frame is total of 48bits consisting of SOF 8 bits, command 16 bits, CRC 16 bit, and EOF 8 bits. And also the frame error rates are measured under the channel of line-of-sight and non line-of-sight, respectively. The performances are analyzed with FSK modulation only and FSK modulation added with convolutional encoding. These two measured results are compared with that of a RFID system with ASK modulation.

This paper reports the design of RFID reader antennas working in UHF band. The reader antennas were designed using a Pareto Genetic Algorithm(Pareto GA). Antennas were optimized to have circular polarization(CP) with less than 3 dB axial ratio, impedance matching with less than VSWR=2 within the frequency range of UHF, an adequate readable range, a restricted size(kr<2.22) considering the practical condition. After Pareto GA optimization, we selected and built the most suitable antenna design and compared the measured results to the simulations. Operating principle of the antenna was explained by investigating the amplitude and the phase of the induced current on the antenna body. We also researched the stability of the antenna with respect to the manufacturing error and studied the critical design parameters by applying the random error method on the antenna bent points.

In resource-constrained, low-cost, radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensor-based mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), ensuring security without performance degradation is a major challenge. This paper introduces a novel combination of steps in lightweight protocol integration to provide a secure network for RFID sensor-based MANETs using error-correcting codes (ECCs). The proposed scheme chooses a quasi-cyclic ECC. Key pairs are generated using the ECC for establishing a secure message communication. Probability analysis shows that code-based identification; key generation; and authentication and trust management schemes protect the network from Sybil, eclipse, and de-synchronization attacks. A lightweight model for the proposed sequence of steps is designed and analyzed using an Alloy analyzer. Results show that selection processes with ten nodes and five subgroup controllers identify attacks in only a few milliseconds. Margrave policy analysis shows that there is no conflict among the roles of network members.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) 시스템에서 수동 태그의 낮은 전송 파워 때문에 리더는 태그와의 통신시 많은 에러를 경험하게 된다. 이것은 리더가 태그의 정보를 빠르고 정확하게 인식하는 것을 어렵게 만든다. 따라서, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 에러에 강한 알고리즘을 개발하고 적용할 필요가 있다. 리더가 태그의 정보를 인식하기 위해 사용하는 대표적인 프로토콜에는 ALOHA 기반의 DFSA (Dynamic Framed-Slotted ALOHA) 프로토콜과 트리 기반의 이진트리 프로토콜이 있다. 기존의 두 프로토콜 중 DFSA는 에러가 없을 때 이진트리 보다 성능이 우수하나, 에러가 존재할 때, 이진트리 보다 약 35% 정도 에러의 영향을 많이 받는 성질을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 에러가 있는 환경과 없는 환경에서의 DFSA와 이진트리 프로토콜의 성능을 분석하고, 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 이 논문에서의 성능 분석 방법이 타당함을 증명한다. 그리고 에러가 많은 환경에서는, 빠른 RFID 태그 인식을 위해 DFSA 프로토콜보다 이진트리 프로토콜을 사용할 것을 제안한다.
