Chipless RFID Reader Design for Ultra-Wideband Technology: Design, Realization and Characterization

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is in full development, and is intended to compete with optical barcodes for traceability in the next future. Between all the RFID families, the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) chipless RFID technology is a major topic nowadays. With this book we focus on development of UWB chipless RFID readers, based on IR-UWB approach. The book presents the state of the art of chipless RFID systems, with useful comparisons. The international regulations that limit the UWB emission are taken into consideration, and design guidance for a full compliant reader are given. Two designed, realized, and characterized reader prototypes are proposed. The reading precision, through sampling noise reduction, reading time, and cost effectiveness are introduced and taken into consideration. As part of reader development, the design of UWB is stressed. A low noise and low cost UWB pulse generator prototype was realized, along with UWB antennas and RF front-end boards. This book also deals with the efficient design of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based embedded systems for chipless readers. As prospective, a reading technique based on polarization diversity is shown with the aim of reading cross-polarized chipless tags independently from their orientation. This approach is valuable because it does not give any constraint at the tag design level. The Design, realization, and characterization of chipless RFID reader are detailedAt least three reader versions are presented with the comparison of performance and realization costFor the first time the readers are based on a temporal approach with an IR-UWB architecture for an easy compliant with UWB regulationsThe readers are designed around a FPGA and its internal architecture, along with the phase of optimization, are well described. Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components are used for a simple reader customizationThe design of a novel pulse generator is presented; its performance is comparable with commercial solution based on ASICA novel reading approach to read a tag independently from its orientation is also proposed INDICE: 1.
