Chipless RFID Reader Architecture - Hardcover Book by Artech House Microwave Library | RFID Technology Guide for Inventory Tracking & Security Systems

Are you a researcher in the chipless RFID systems field? If you are, then this book is for you. Authors Nemai Chandra Karmakar, Randika V. Koswatta and Prasanna Kalansuriya, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that aims to provide the reader with comprehensive information with the recent development of chipless RFID tags, associated chipless RFID tags readers, and their relevant detection and signal processing both in the physical layer development and the software development algorithm and protocols.Authors Karmakar, Koswatta and Kalansuriya, begin by reviewing the chipless RFID fundamentals. Next, the authors present an overview of the operating principles of chipless RFID systems. Then, they provide a comprehensive review of various chipless RFID readers and their operating principles. In addition, the authors provide detailed information for two chipless tag readers. They continue by describing the fundamental theory for a time domain based chipless RFID reader design, by using the UWB impulse radio principle, followed by the reader architecture and simulated results of the reader design. The authors then present some recent progresses in chipless RFID tage reading techniques. Next, they summarize the design and fabrication of microwave and millimeter-wave band UWB antennas and their evaluation, as used in their intended RFID tag reader systems. Then, the authors formulate the specifications for various passive and active components for the reader systems, followed by the fundamental theories and design details of these components. In addition, they provide information on the requirements of digital interfaces for chipless RFID readers. Finally, the authors present the integration of the UWB antennas, RF reader front-ends, and digital sections in the formation of a complete chipless RFID system.This most excellent book is the first in the field to cover comprehensively many significant aspects of chipless RFID reader architecture and signal processing. Furthermore, this great book is an initiative to publish the most recent results of research and development on the chipless RFID tag reader system. Finally, this fantastic book has also proposed a few state-of -the-art multiaccess and signal intergrity protocols to improve the efficacy of the system in multiple tage reading scenarios.
