To suggest effective ways of the management of reptiles in Korea national parks, we applied PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag and radio telemetry research methods in the monitoring of reptiles in Odaesan and Woraksan national parks. We implanted PIT tags into 137 snakes (six species) captured in both the national parks between March 2006 and October 2008 and also radio-tracked two Korean rat snakes (Elaphe schrenckii anomala) from September 2007 to November 2008 in the Woraksan national park. Of total 137 snakes which we had inserted the PIT tag, 17 snakes (12.40%) were recaptured. Based on the PIT tag data of the recapture, we successfully obtained the annual growth rate of Korean cat snakes (Elaphe dione) and Red-tongue pit-viper (Gloydius ussuriensis). Home range of the Korean rat snakes based on the data of radiotracking was estimated as 389,600$m^2$ (MCP: Minimum convex polygon) and 471,800$m^2$ (Kernel 95%) for males and 162,500$m^2$ and 208,700$m^2$ for females. These results suggest that if we apply PIT tag and radio telemetry research methods to manage reptiles in Korea national parks, it could greatly increase our understanding about their basic ecology and as the result, it could allow us to develop better management and conservation ways of reptiles in Korea national parks.

We investigated the impedance matching characteristics of UHF-band RFID tag antenna and tag chip for increased reading range. A voltage multiplier designed using 0.4 $\mu$m zero-$V_T$ MOSFET showed that DC output voltage of about 2 V can be obtained using standard CMOS process. The input impedance of the voltage multiplier was examined to achieve impedance matching to the RFID tag antenna using analytical and numerical approaches. The input impedance of the voltage multiplier could be varied in a wide range by selecting the size of MOSFET and the number of multiplying stages, and thus can be impedance matched to a tag antenna in presence of other tag circuit blocks. A meander line inductively-coupled RFID tag antenna operating at UHF band also shows the feasibility of impedance matching to tile RFID tag chip.

This paper presents a miniaturization design technique of radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna operated in 910 MHz band. Miniaturization structure design for a tag antenna is performed by structure application of the folded dipole and meander line. In order to realize the maximum power transmission, imaginary part of a chip impedance and a tag antenna impedance is matched by complex conjugate number. The optimized tag antenna size is $50\;nm\;{\times}\;40\;nm\;{\times}\;1.6\;nm$ and its size is reduced about 62 % comparison with antenna size of reference [4]. The measured results of fabricated tag antenna are confirmed the reasonable agreement with prediction. The read range of the tag antenna with chip observed about 5 m.

This article proposes an ultrahigh frequency band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna for drug runout management that can be used in hospitals. The RFID tag antenna is designed to function as a sensor that alerts drug runout when a drug inside a drip chamber is completely consumed but does not work when a drug remains inside a drop chamber. A previously proposed 915 MHz dipole antenna, is too large to be attached to the drip chamber of a feeding bag. Moreover, the length of the dipole (L) should be increased for conjugate matching with an RFID chip. Therefore, the dipole antenna is downsized so that it can be attached to the drip chamber through a fine meander line structure coupling with a corrugate meander line. A transparent cover is added to enhance the grip force between the designed antenna and the drip chamber and to enable detachment. The dimensions of the completed antenna structure attachable to a drip chamber are 32.59 mm (height) and 13.5 mm (width). The gain reduction due to the decreased antenna length is enhanced. The fabricated antenna shows an average omni-directional read range of 10.65 m on a horizontal plane and has the function of sensing the presence of a drug.

A RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system Is a kind of Radio Frequency Communication System and a branch of Automatic Data Collection System. The RFID System is composed of RF Tag(or Transponder) and RFID Reader(controller). This paper deal with Wireless communications that acquired RF Tag ID by RFID reader, and then target system will transmit Tag ID to RFID Server through the internet using Wireless LAN. The RFID system of Todays are commonly used by a wired RFID system. In this system uses commonly used Wireless LAN, and then we can connect the internet if we have a AP(Wireless Lan Access Point). Internet connection can make a transmission of RF Tag ID, and can make a reception of returning data that are images or information.

In the RFID system, one of the important criteria of tag antenna performance is the detection distance. The most important factor determining the detection distance of the tag antenna is the Radar Cross Sections(RCS). In this paper, we propose a method to simply measure the RCS of the RFID tag antenna using two reader antennas(Tx and Rx) and a network analyzer. We estimate RCS' from the RCS equation based on the measured $S_{21}$ using the network analyzer. We compare the measured $S_{21}$ values with the calculated $S_{21}$ values and the simulated $S_{21}$ values using EM simulator. The used tag antennas are two kinds of dipole-type, metal-type, and an inductively-coupled type ones. In case of the dipole type, the measured, simulated and calculated values of the RCS are almost the same. In case of other types, we obtain the measured RCS values with a difference of about 3 dB.

In this paper, we compare the accuracy of most representative radio frequency identification (RFID) tag estimation functions in the context of minimizing RFID tag identification delay. Before the comparisons, we first evaluate the accuracy of Schoute's estimation function, which has been widely adopted in many RFID tag identification processes, and show that its accuracy actually depends on the number of tags to be identified and frame size L used for dynamic frame slotted Aloha cycles. Through computer simulations, we show how the accuracy of estimation functions is related to the actual tag read performance in terms of identification delay.

In this paper, the method is suggested to prevent data collision or damage on RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system, in case a reader reading multi-tag simultaneously, using binary-search algorithm and Time-domain anti-collision procedure at reader and tag, respectively. The RFID system is designed that Reader enable to communicate with Tag on 13.56MHz bandwidth which is ISM(Industrial Science Medical) bandwidth, antennas of Tag part are designed using MCRF335 Chip. When RF communication is achieved between reader and tag, in case that data is transmitted to reader pass through multiple tags simultaneously, a study on the anti-collision method for the situation that the data collision occurs is performed.
