Comprehensive resource reviewing the state of the artin wireless identification and sensing systems, proposing several examples of applications.
While complying with RF standard and regulations,Wireless Identification and Sensing Systems for Harsh and Severe Environments covers the recent advances in wireless and radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems where severe electromagnetic behavior and harsh conditions are taken into consideration, providing the reader with design rules and methodologies to obtain satisfactory performance and avoid the typical oversights and mistakes that can be made when first approaching this topic.
In addition to examples of real implementations, the book gives a general overview of RFID and wireless technologies as well as their pros and cons in terms of expected performance and future directions of technologies. The perspective and evolution towards IoT solutions and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are pointed out.
The book furthermore addresses chipless RFID frameworks from the theoretical perspective as well as that of implementation, including examples from scientific literature and commercial solutions. It also describes surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors in wired and wireless configurations and developments needed to implement the technology.
RFID is a wireless technology that has been around for a while and significantly evolved. It now extends beyond pure identification (originally it was conceived as sort of a wireless barcode) and encompasses low-power wireless devices and systems with various sensing, networking, security, and localization capabilities. Hence, the generic term “RFID” is often used loosely to denote a variety of active and passive RF technologies: actively transmitting or passively backscattering, with energy-harvesting or battery-powered tags, etc. The focus of this particular book is passive RFID and its operation in severe environments.
While many active RF or wireless technologies can be used for sensing and communication, passive RFID is especially attractive and presents a very compelling low-cost, reliable, and scalable alternative to solutions based on various active wireless protocols. It is well positioned as a core technology for enhancing everyday physical objects with sensors and communication abilities and connecting them to the Internet of Things (IoT). Passive RFID deployments are growing in size and number as they help to solve numerous business use cases across various industries and supply chains.
Passive RFID can be classified into chipless and chip-based. Chipless RFID encompasses pure chipless tags (composed of multiple RF resonators), surface acoustic wave (SAW) tags (which may include a special non-semiconductor SAW chip), and harmonic tags (diodes are the only semiconductor devices used in those). Chip-based RFID tags use complex semiconductor ICs, containing more transistors than microprocessors used in PCs in mid-80’s. Passive RFID can work in various frequency bands such as LF (low frequency), HF (high frequency, also known as NFC), UHF (ultra high frequency, also known as RAIN), or microwave. Chip-based and chipless tags of different kinds described above have varying degrees of sophistication, and their design is often a tradeoff between functionality and cost. All passive RFID systems may be deployed in both far-field and near-field scenarios.
Wireless Identification and Sensing Systems for Harsh and Severe Environments includes discussion of:
Frequency diversity for robust Ultra-High Frequency (UHF)-RFID communication, a key technology for future sensor and actuator devices in the Internet of Things, and harmonic transponders for tracking and sensing
Resonator and reflective delay line configurations, and chipless RFID technology for operations in harsh environments
Potential of battery-less near-field communication (NFC) sensors using mobile phones as readers in severe environments
Chipless RFID channel modeling, considering the spatial multipath channel, 3D bi-static Radar Cross Section (RCS) tag model, and analogue effects
Providing comprehensive coverage of the subject and examples of successful implementations of wireless solutions exploiting RFID technologies and enabling systems for the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Identification and Sensing Systems for Harsh and Severe Environments is an essential resource for engineers and PhD students in wireless and RFID technologies.
