A Modified Split⁃Ring Resonator Antenna for Radio Frequency Identification Tag

A compact antenna formed by three concentric split rings for ultra-high frequency(UHF)radio frequency identification(RFID)tag is proposed in this paper.The antenna is composed of two parts,an outer short-circuited ring modified from a traditional split-ring resonator(SRR)antenna and an inner SRR load,so the antenna can be regarded as a short-circuited ring loaded with SRR.According to the transmission line theory,to conjugate match with the capacitive input-impedance of a tag chip,the length of the short-circuited ring isλg/4 shorter than that of an open-circuited dipole of a traditional SRR antenna,whereλg is the wavelengh of the operating frequency.Hence,the size of the proposed antenna is more compact than that of the traditional SRR antenna.Thereafter,the proposed antenna is simulated and optimized by ANSYS high-frequency structure simulator(HFSS).The impedance,efficiency,and mutual coupling of the fabricated antenna are tested in a reverberation chamber(RC).The results show that the size of the presented antenna is 83%smaller than that of the traditional SRR antenna and the proposed antenna can cover the whole UHF RFID operating frequency band worldwide(840—960 MHz).The measured read range of the tag exhibits maximum values of 45 cm in free space and 37 cm under dense tag environment.

Recovery of Collided RFID Tags With Frequency Drift on Physical Layer

In a passive ultra-high frequency(UHF)radio frequency identification(RFID)system,the recovery of collided tag signals on a physical layer can enhance identification efficiency.However,frequency drift is very common in UHF RFID systems,and will have an influence on the recovery on the physical layer.To address the problem of recovery with the frequency drift,this paper adopts a radial basis function(RBF)network to separate the collision signals,and decode the signals via FM0 to recovery collided RFID tags.Numerical results show that the method in this paper has better performance of symbol error rate(SER)and separation efficiency compared to conventional methods when frequency drift occurs.

A Novel Anti-Collision Algorithm for Large Scale of UHF RFID Tags Access Systems

When the radio frequency identification(RFID)system inventories multiple tags,the recognition rate will be seriously affected due to collisions.Based on the existing dynamic frame slotted Aloha(DFSA)algorithm,a sub-frame observation and cyclic redundancy check(CRC)grouping combined dynamic framed slotted Aloha(SUBF-CGDFSA)algorithm is proposed.The algorithm combines the precise estimation method of the quantity of large-scale tags,the large-scale tags grouping mechanism based on CRC pseudo-randomcharacteristics,and the Aloha anti-collision optimization mechanism based on sub-frame observation.By grouping tags and sequentially identifying themwithin subframes,it accurately estimates the number of remaining tags and optimizes frame length accordingly to improve efficiency in large-scale RFID systems.Simulation outcomes demonstrate that this proposed algorithmcan effectively break through the system throughput bottleneck of 36.8%,which is up to 30%higher than the existing DFSA standard scheme,and has more significant advantages,which is suitable for application in largescale RFID tags scenarios.

Capture-aware Bayesian RFID Tag Estimate for Large-scale Identification

Dynamic framed slotted Aloha algorithm is one of popular passive radio frequency identification(RFID) tag anticollision algorithms. In the algorithm, a frame length requires dynamical adjustment to achieve higher identification efficiency.Generally, the adjustment of the frame length is not only related to the number of tags, but also to the occurrence probability of capture effect. Existing algorithms could estimate both the number of tags and the probability of capture effect. Under large-scale RFID tag identification, however, the number of tags would be much larger than an initial frame length. In this scenario, the existing algorithm's estimation errors would substantially increase. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm called capture-aware Bayesian estimate, which adopts Bayesian rules to accurately estimate the number and the probability simultaneously. From numerical results, the proposed algorithm adapts well to the large-scale RFID tag identification. It has lower estimation errors than the existing algorithms. Further,the identification efficiency from the proposed estimate is also higher than the existing algorithms.

A Physical Layer Network Coding Based Tag Anti-Collision Algorithm for RFID System

In RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)system,when multiple tags are in the operating range of one reader and send their information to the reader simultaneously,the signals of these tags are superimposed in the air,which results in a collision and leads to the degrading of tags identifying efficiency.To improve the multiple tags’identifying efficiency due to collision,a physical layer network coding based binary search tree algorithm(PNBA)is proposed in this paper.PNBA pushes the conflicting signal information of multiple tags into a stack,which is discarded by the traditional anti-collision algorithm.In addition,physical layer network coding is exploited by PNBA to obtain unread tag information through the decoding operation of physical layer network coding using the conflicting information in the stack.Therefore,PNBA reduces the number of interactions between reader and tags,and improves the tags identification efficiency.Theoretical analysis and simulation results using MATLAB demonstrate that PNBA reduces the number of readings,and improve RFID identification efficiency.Especially,when the number of tags to be identified is 100,the average needed reading number of PNBA is 83%lower than the basic binary search tree algorithm,43%lower than reverse binary search tree algorithm,and its reading efficiency reaches 0.93.

The maximum transmission range of 80 m at the output power of 4.5 dBm is obtained. The main application of this system is for the container identification with precise operation and high accuracy. An active Tag with unique ID is mounted on each vehicle. By enabling the AUTOCRC error detection possibility, minor errors are detected in the received frames. Receiver sensitivity of –97 dBm and current consumption of 1 μA in the sleep mode and 29.6 mA in the active mode are reported.

A 512-bit EEPROM IP was designed by using just logic process based devices.To limit the voltages of the devices within 5.5 V,EEPROM core circuits,control gate(CG) and tunnel gate(TG) driving circuits,DC-DC converters:positive pumping voltage(VPP=4.75 V) ,negative pumping voltage(VNN=4.75 V) ,and VNNL(=VNN/2) generation circuit were proposed.In addition,switching powers CG high voltage(CG_HV) ,CG low voltage(CG_LV) ,TG high voltage(TG_HV) ,TG low voltage(TG_LV) ,VNNL_CG and VNNL_TG switching circuit were supplied for the CG and TG driving circuit.Furthermore,a sequential pumping scheme and a new ring oscillator with a dual oscillation period were proposed.To reduce a power consumption of EEPROM in the write mode,the reference voltages VREF_VPP for VPP and VREE_VNN for VNN were used by dividing VDD(1.2 V) supply voltage supplied from the analog block in stead of removing the reference voltage generators.A voltage level detector using a capacitive divider as a low-power DC-DC converter design technique was proposed.The result shows that the power dissipation is 0.34μW in the read mode,13.76μW in the program mode,and 13.66μW in the erase mode.

EMAP: An Efficient Mutual Authentication Protocol for Passive RFID Tags

Radio frequency identification （RFID） system is a contactless automatic identification system, which uses small and low cost RFID tags. The primary problem of current security and privacy preserving schemes is that, in order to identify only one single tag, these schemes require a linear computational complexity on the server side. We propose an efficient mutual authentication protocol for passive RFID tags that provides confidentiality, untraceability, mutual authentication, and efficiency. The proposed protocol shifts the heavy burden of asymmetric encryption and decryption operations on the more powerful server side and only leaves lightweight hash operation on tag side. It is also efficient in terms of time complexity, space complexity, and communication cost, which are very important for practical large-scale RFID applications.

Identifying the Unknown Tags in a Large RFID System

Radio frequency identification(RFID) technology has been extensively used in various practical applications, such as inventory management and logistics control, with its outstanding features(e.g. non-line-ofsight reading and fast identification). And in a large RFID system, unknown tag identification uses total execution time as the performance criterion. However, the performance of existing protocols in terms of execution time is not ideal. To get better time efficiency, a novel unknown tag identification protocol(NUTIP) is proposed. The novelty of NUTIP is demonstrated mainly in two aspects: i) NUTIP deactivates some known tags and identifies or labels some unknown tags during its first phase to prevent these tags from interfering unknown tag identification. ii) We optimize the parameter settings to minimize the total execution time. Simulation experiments show that the proposed protocol is far superior to other relevant protocols and suitable for both sparse unknown tags environment and dense unknown tags environment.

Application of PRO-ESPRIT algorithm in identification of surface acoustic wave identification-tags

The surface acoustic wave （SAW） identification （ID）-tags have great potential for application in radio frequency identification （RFID） due to their characteristics of wireless sensing and passive operation. In the measurements based on the frequency domain sampling （FDS）, to expand the range of detection and allow the system work in harsh environments, it is necessary to enhance the identification capability at low SNR. In addition, to identify the tags in real time, it is important to reduce identification time. Therefore, estimation of signal parameters based on the Procrustes rotations via the rotational invariance technique （PRO-ESPRIT） is adopted. Experimental results show that good identification capability is achieved with a relatively faster measurement speed.

Parallel Response Ternary Query Tree for RFID Tag Anti-Collision

A tag-collision (or missed reads) in RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification) system degrades the identification efficiency. The so-called tag collision is that a reader cannot identify a tag when more than one tags respond to a reader at the same time. There are some major anti-collision protocols on resolving tag collision, e.g., ALOHA-based protocol, binary tree protocol, and Query Tree (QT) protocol. Up to date, most tag anti-collision protocols are QT protocols. QT protocols are categorized into M-ary query tree (QT). In the previous literature, choosing M = 3 (i.e., a ternary QT (TQT)) was proven to have the optimum performance for tag identification. Recently, Yeh et al. used parallel response approach to reduce the number of collisions. In this paper, we combine the partial response and TQT to propose an effective parallel response TQT (PRTQT) protocol. Simulation results reveal that our PRTQT outperforms Yeh et al.’s protocol and TQT protocol.

Globalization has opened practically every country in the globe to tourism and commerce today.In every region,the volume of vehicles traveling through border crossings has increased significantly.Smartcards and radio frequency identification(RFID)have been proposed as a new method of identifying and authenticating passengers,products,and vehicles.However,the usage of smartcards and RFID tag cards for vehicular border crossings continues to suffer security and flexibility challenges.Providing a vehicle’s driver a smartcard or RFID tag card may result in theft,loss,counterfeit,imitation,or vehicle transmutation.RFID sticker tags would replace RFID tags as vehicle border passes to solve the mentioned problem.The RFID sticker tag adheres to the windscreen,side screen,dash,hood,or door of the vehicle,or any other acceptable location.Any damage or stripping from the installed location may cause data corruption and cannot be reused.Overall,these sticker tags will make the border crossingsmore secure and efficient.This article focuses on designing a rectangular-shaped RFID sticker tag antenna made of graphene sheets as a possible solution for smart border crossings.The proposed antenna is mathematically designed and analyzed with CST software to determine the optimum parameters.The design parameters are then used to create an antenna on a prepared graphene sheet.The performance results are carried out with CST software and a network analyzer.The designed RFID antenna stick on a car windscreen offers approximately 900 MHz bandwidth over the frequency range from 1.8 GHz to 2.7 GHz with an average gain of 1.23 dBi at the frequency to be used of 2.4 GHz microwave RFID band.The radiation is an omnidirectional pattern.The proposed graphene-sheet rectangular-shape monopole antenna is compact,low-cost,and bendable to fit into the windscreen of a car while retaining excellent wave propagation capabilities.These findings illustrate the suggested antenna’s potential as an RFID tag antenna in a vehicular smart border pass system.
