“…Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless technology initially dedicated to the identification of objects. Its applications have been quickly extended to the identification of animals (for instance for traceability) or even of people (for instance for access control), and so the identification of any “thing.” Since the first consumer application with the anti‐theft system electronic article surveillance (EAS), RFID technology has become a worldwide standardized technology ubiquitous in industry and our daily life with many fields of application, 1 for example, item management and tracking, logistics, public transports and services, and so on. The advantages of RFID are such that this technology is always evolving and, in addition to the identification functionality, is now integrating new functionalities, such as localization or sensing 2‐4 .…”

The article presents an experimental platform, so called “RFID Waveformer,” dedicated to the study of waveform optimization in the radio frequency identification (RFID) context. It is a flexible solution that enables waveform design and their energetic performance evaluation in a ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID link following the ISO‐18000 GEN2 standard protocol. It consists of a reader emulated by a LabVIEW interface controlling radiofrequency laboratory instruments, which perform real time tag response detection. Its interconnection with MATLAB routines enables the design and the evaluation of arbitrarily shaped RFID waveforms. In this article, for illustration, three waveforms are tested with RFID Waveformer in a complex propagation environment: pulsed wave (PW) and time reversal (TR) modes compared to the traditional continuous wave (CW) mode. Experimental results show that both PW and TR modes improve the energetic efficiency of the forward link and so the RFID read range compared to CW mode. Furthermore, TR presents the optimal efficiency in complex propagation medium. The RFID Waveformer enables tag response detection in the three modes offering ease of use and repeatability of measurements. The RFID Waveformer being not limited to the scenario considered in this article, it is a versatile solution extendable to other contexts.

“…The ability of storing limited information is already suitable for storing some useful information concerning production processes and logistic information in industrial applications required in modern industrial internet applications. Traditional coding methods currently in use are, in particular, optical methods (barcodes or quick response codes—QR codes for short—indicated by means of labels or via printing, scribing, punching, lasing, or etching) [ 7 ] and radio‐based methods (implanted radio chips for radio frequency identification (RFID) [ 8 ] ). However, these methods have significant drawbacks.…”

Ferritic steel has the potential to act as a medium for magnetic storage of certain information, for example, to document the history of parts. The material is expected to play a role in supporting intelligent production processes and logistics routines for industrial internet applications. For writing and reading stable magnetic codes into steel, it is necessary to investigate and understand the corresponding requirements of the material. Both sensitively depend on characteristic microstructural details and related magnetic properties. They are either already present in the material or may be locally achieved in the code area by supplementary hardening methods.

“…The manufacturers propose new chips with always improved performance in terms of sensitivity (i.e., indirectly in terms of read range) or currently integrating new capabilities. Furthermore, for RFID tags designers, it is well known that the antenna is the most critical part [5]. Indeed, the antenna design has to take into consideration as well as the future attached object and the associated chip.…”

The aim of this paper is to present different ways to extract electrical models of an antenna specifically designed for Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communications. More precisely the models are extracted from a helical dipole designed to operate in the European RFID band and in the context of smart textiles. This kind of antenna was chosen because its electrical properties and radiation pattern are relatively robust with respect of stretching deformation. After presenting the antenna's design, two strategies to extract antenna models are discussed and then compared. The first method is taking into account the antenna's physical dimensions and shape, and the second one, which is a general method relevant to any other antenna geometry, is based on the rational approximation of the antenna's frequency response.
