The huge progress in electronics technology and RFID technique gives the opportunity to implement additional features in transponders. It should be noted that either passive or semipassive transponders are supplied with energy that is derived from the electromagnetic field generated by the read/write device and its antenna. This power source is used to conduct radio-communication process and excess energy could be used to power the extra electronic circuits, but the problem is to determine the additional power load impact on the RFID system proper operation and size of interrogation zone. The ability to power the supplementary electronic blocks applied in the HF passive transponders is discussed in detail this paper. The simulation model and test samples with a harvester that recovers energy from the electromagnetic field of read/write device and its antenna have been developed in order to conduct investigations. The harvested energy has been utilized to supply a microprocessor acquisition block for LTCC pressure sensor developed in research previously described by authors.
The study on the numerical model of communication processes implemented in RFID systems, in which textile electronic (RFIDtex) tags are used, is presented in the paper. The efficiency analysis covers the case of dynamic identification of a large amount of RFIDtex tags that are located in a spatial interrogation zone of a typical Internet of Textile Things (IoTT) application. Simulations carried out in order to verify the efficiency of the identification process are confirmed by measurements on the dedicated laboratory stand. Since the application of the experiment is located in the area of a maintenance-free store to detect and distinguish textile products, particular attention is paid to reconstruction of conditions and object arrangements that are typical for this type of space. The model and experiment are developed on the basis of RFIDtex transponders that are restricted under the patent claim PL231291. The obtained results prove that within the scope of the assumed number of RFIDtex transponders, the user has great freedom in choosing the parameters of the communication protocol.
The article presents a prototype indoor space mapping solution using RFID transponders. The autonomous robot reads the information they contain using a set of several readers, which improves the process. The design of the robot prototype is based on the STM32 NUCLEO module. Two types of transponder grids are considered, square and triangular. Simulation results for both grid types show the efficiency of reading information from transponders by the moving robot.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
