Please join the Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) for complimentary food and refreshments, networking, and a technical presentation led by Matthew Trotter.  The presentation “Survey of Range Improvement of Commercial RFID Tags with Power Optimized Waveforms” is authored by Matthew Trotter, Georgia Institute of Technology, ECE, and co-authored by Dr. Gregory D. Durgin, Georgia Institute of Technology, ECE.

Abstract

The power sensitivity of passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags heavily affects the read reliability and range. Inventory tracking systems rely heavily on strong read reliability while animal tracking in large fields rely heavily on long read range. Power Optimized Waveforms (POWs) provide a solution to improving both read reliability and read range by improving RFID tag RF to DC power conversion efficiency. This poster presents a survey of the improvements and reductions of common RFID tags’ power sensitivity using POWs. In addition, POWs are explained in detail with examples and methods of integration into a reader.
