RFID Tags: Bigger Than They Seem
Daniel Dobkin (presenting) and Steven Weigand
View Presentaion .pdf |
|
|
|
Arrays of closely-spaced UHF RFID tags have a strong
effect on tag readability due to scattering of the
incident electric field by the tag antennas. This has
direct implications for inventory management, item
tagging, and applications where a large number of tags
may be in the read zone. Corresponding numerical
simulations and a progress report on a simplified
theory implemented with a spreadsheet will also be
presented.
The experimental work reported here was supported by
WJ Communications, Inc.
