Evaluation and exploration of RFID systems by rapid prototyping

Abstract:In recent years, many events related to food and public health, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease), dioxin, bird flu and swine flu, brought the issue of food security to the center of international attention. Many countries established strict rules to ensure the food traceability "from farm to fork" to meet the demand of consumer safety and to ensure public health. Consequently, the concepts of controlled supply chain, brand of quality and traceability of food products have had a strong evolution. Companies in the food production sector must evolve and change their organizational and management chain to satisfy increasingly stringent government rules and to respond to the requirements of the market. From this point of view, NFC (Near Field Communication) has all the requirements to become the main technology for traceability in the various food sectors. This paper proposes a solution to gather information throughout the entire food supply chain and bring it directly to the consumer. The architecture consists of a complex identification system based on NFC tags, which cumulates data during all phases of the production process. The aim of this work is to keep track of the information generated during food processing, not only for traceability purposes, but also for enhancing and optimizing production. The data generated by the traceability system are collected in a cloud database through apps on Android smartphones. The information is accessible by the consumers through a public Android application. The pork supply chain has been used as an application example of the proposed methodology.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a ubiquitous identification technology nowadays. An on-chip high-performance transmit/receive (T/R) switch is designed and simulated in 0.13-µm CMOS technology for reader-less RFID tag. The switch utilizes only the transistor width and length (W/L) optimization, proper gate bias resistor and resistive body floating technique and therefore, exhibits 1 dB insertion loss, 31.5 dB isolation and 29.2 dBm 1-dB compression point (P1dB). Moreover, the switch dissipates only 786.7 nW power for 1.8/0 V control voltages and is capable of switching in 794 fs. Above all, as there is no inductor or capacitor used in the circuit, the size of the switch is 0.00208 mm 2 only. This switch will be appropriate for reader-less RFID tag transceiver front-end as well as other wireless transceivers operated at 2.4 GHz band.

Original scientific paper Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based systems are ubiquitous nowadays. Band pass filters always play an important role in overall performance of an RFID transponder. In this paper, a band pass filter with a transistor only active inductor is presented for compact high performance reader-less RFID transponder. Post layout simulation result reveals that the centre frequency of the filter can be set to 2,42 GHz frequency with a bandwidth of 38 MHz. The filter core occupies an area of 0,004 mm 2 and dissipates only 1,3 mW at 1,5 V supply voltage. CEDEC 0,18 µm CMOS technology in Mentor Graphics environment has been used for the design of the proposed filter. Keywords: active inductor; band-pass filter; CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor); RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)Dizajn pojasnog filtra u 0,18 μm CMOS za 2,4 GHz RFID transponder bez čitača Izvorni znanstveni članak Sustavi temeljeni na Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sada su široko rasprostranjeni. Pojasno fazni filtri igraju važnu ulogu u funkcioniranju RFID transpondera. U ovom radu, pojasno fazni filtar s induktorom aktivnim samo s tranzistorom prikazan je za kompaktni RFID transponder bez čitača visokih performansi. Rezultat simulacije rasporeda otkriva da središnja frekvencija filtra može biti postavljena na frekvenciju od 2,42 GHz sa širinom pojasa od 38 MHz. Jezgra filtra zauzima površinu od 0,004 mm 2 i gubi samo 1,3 mW kod napona napajanja od 1,5 V. Predloženi filtar dizajniran je pomoću CEDEC 0,18 μm CMOS tehnologije u Mentor Graphics okruženju. Ključne riječi: aktivni induktor; pojasno fazni filtar; CMOS (dopunski metalno oksidni poluvodič); RFID (radio frekvencijska identifikacija)
