$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS UHF RFID tag frontend is presented in this paper. Several key components are highlighted: the voltage multiplier based on the threshold voltage terminated circuit, the demodulator using current mode, and the clock generator. For standard compliance, all designed components are under the EPC Global Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID protocol. Backscatter modulation uses the pulse width modulation scheme. Overall performance of the proposed tag chip was verified with the evaluation board. Prototype Tag Chip dimension is neary 0.77mm2 ; According to the simulation results, the reader can successfully interrogate the tag within 1.5m. where the tag consumes the power about $71{\mu}W$.

최근 정보통신 기술의 발전과 더불어 가정 내에서의 홈 네트워크 서비스에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 기존 홈 네트워크 서비스는 유선으로 연결되어야 함으로 신축 현장에만 적용이 가능했으나 무선으로 연결하는 경우 기 구축되어 있는 현장에도 별도의 배선공사 없이 홈 네트워크 서비스를 제공할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 UHF 대역을 이용한 무선 홈 네트워크 시스템을 설계하였다. 시스템 구성 요소로는 HN(Home Network)세대기, 무선통신모듈, 무선제어기 등이 있다. 세대기와 무선통신 모듈 사이의 통신에는 폴링 방식을 사용하여 신뢰성을 높였으며 그에 적합한 프로토콜을 설계하였다.

This paper presents a tag emulator for a UHF band RFID system. The tag emulator supports the 1800-6C and EPC global class 1 generation 2 standards. The transmitted signal from a reader is generated using the PIE coding and ASK modulation methods. Signals of a tag are from the FM0 coding and ASK modulation methods. The ARM7 processor carries out the overall control of the system and signal analysis of incoming data. The verification of the tag emulator employs the application platform implemented in C++. Users can define parameter values for protocol during the application run. The tag emulator presented in this paper allows evaluating various design alternatives of the target RFID system in real applications.

In this paper, Air-interface protocols of ISO 18000-6 Types and EPCglobal Classes applied to RFID system in UHF band are analyzed, and those anticollision algorithms are realized. Also, the each algorithm which improves the performance of standard protocol is proposed, and the performance is compared when clock period of link timing is a identical condition on $12.5{\mu}s$. As the result, when 500 tags exist simultaneously inside reader interrogation zone, the tag recognition performance of a standard protocol is better in preceding order of Class-1 Generation-1, Type B, Type A, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. And also the performance of improved protocol is better in ascending order of Type B, Type A, Class-1 Generation-1, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. Therefore, performance of tag recognition remarkably depends on the regulated clock period in the protocol and link timing between a reader and a tag.

In this paper, Air-interface protocols of ISO 18000-6 Type A and B applied to RFID system in UHF band are analyzed, and those algorithms are realized. Also, the improved anticollision algorithms for the Type A and B of ISO 18000-6 protocol are proposed and the performances are compared. As the results, reduction ratio of total tag recognition time of the improved ISO 18000-6 Type A algorithm is 35.2 % for 100 tags and 24.3% for 1000 tags with respect to standard algorithm, respectively. And the reduction ratio of the improved ISO 18000-6 Type B algorithm is 6.0% for 100 tags and 6.6% for 1000 tags. Therefore, the improved anticollision algorithm proposed in this paper is the advanced method improving the performance of tag recognition in the RFID system.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크와 텔레매틱스 서비스에 사용되는 무선 환경 프로토콜 표준 중 UHF 대역 프로토콜인 EPCglobal의 Class 1 Gen 1, Class 1 Gen 2의 에어인터페이스를 분석하고 각 프로토콜에서 규정된 충돌방지 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 그리고 각 프로토콜에서 규정하는 충돌방지 알고리즘의 성능을 개선한 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능을 비교하였다. 개선된 알고리즘과 표준 알고리즘의 성능 시뮬레이션 결과 개선된 Class 1 Gen 1 알고리즘은 태그 수 100개 일 때 54.5%, 태그 수 1000개 일 때 63.4% 감소하였다. 개선된 Class 1 Gen 2 알고리즘은 태그 수 100개 일 때 7.9%, 태그 수 1000개 일 때 11.7% 감소하였다. 개선된 충돌방지 알고리즘은 표준 알고리즘보다 태그 인식 성능이 상당히 개선됨을 알 수 있다. 따라서 개선된 충돌방지 알고리즘은 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크와 텔레매틱스 서비스 등에 사용되는 무선인식 시스템의 성능 개선방안으로 적용될 수 있다.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system is an automated identification system that basically consists of tags and readers and Back-End-Databases. Tags and Readers communicate with each other by RF signal. As a reader can identify many tags in contactless manner using RF signal, RFID system is expected to do a new technology to replace a bar-code system in supply-chain management and payment system and access control and medical record and so on. However, RFID system creates new threats to the security of systems and privacy of individuals, Because tags and readers communicate with each other in insecure channel using RF signal. So many people are trying to study various manners to solve these problems against attacks, But they are difficult to apply to RFID system based on EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. Recently, Chien and Chen proposed a mutual Authentication protocol for RFID conforming to EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. we discover vulnerabilities of security and inefficiency about their protocol. Therefore, We analyze vulnerabilities of their protocol and propose an efficient mutual authentication protocol that improves security and efficiency.

In this study, a customized semi-passive RFID receiver module was implemented for in-VIVO deep tissue photo-therapy. A novel wireless technique is required due to a limitation of RF communication in body environment, as internal body has a complex structure such as, skin, fat, skeleton, water, and so on. Recently, coherently incoherent beamforming (CIB) based on RFID was introduced and it is able to transmit wireless signal with high reliability under the incoherent condition such as in-VIVO deep tissue. The proposed miniature photo capsule based on RFID consists of miniature controller, ultra small LED array and wireless RFID chip. RF Reader can access with standard RFID protocol (ISO 18000-6c) using UHF RFID antenna, a control command is wirelessly writtern on USER Bank memory. With received control command, therapy LED array dims with mulilevel under timer control. The signal process of designed RFID photo therapy capsule is analyzed and evaluated under the various environments in detailed.
