Intelligent RFID Tag Detection Using Support Vector Machine

RFID Tag detection/recognition is one of the most critical issues for successful deployment of RFID systems in diverse applications. The main factors influencing tag detection by RFID reader antenna include tag position, relative position of reader, read field length, etc. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of tag detection for a carton box object on a wooden pallet by an experimental approach based on tag signal strength, and we propose a method for predicting detection related directly to the strength of tag signal using an intelligent machine learning technique called support vector machine (SVM). The use of the proposed method is able to save time and cost by quick prediction of tag detection. Extensive experiments showed that the proposed approach can predict tag recognition for a carton box object with an accuracy at 95% for various reader heights and read field lengths. The proposed approach is effective for determining the best tag detection influencing factor conditioned on the target object with the help of detectability prediction.

Miniaturised dual-band s-shaped RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic surface

The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag, as a substitute for the existing bar cords, recognises, modifies and tracks information through microchips mountable on an antenna. Among them, the UHF (860?960 MHz) RFID band tag has commonly been used in circulation and logistics fields throughout the world because of its low production cost and its read long range. This RFID tag must be miniaturised in order to be mountable on any product, and to minimise the antenna?s performance degradation. If it is used worldwide as a common product, broadband or multiband is required. Specifically, when the antenna is mounted on conductive materials, its impedance characteristics change and bandwidth decreases. Therefore, a tag antenna is required with impedance characteristics which do not change even when it is attached to metallic materials.
