Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a short range radio technology for communication between two objects namely, a reader and a tag. Design of an RFID tag with the best range is always the motive of an RFID designer. In this thesis two RFID tags were simulated, designed and manufactured. The first one is a semi-passive RFID tag, which also serves as a discrete prototype tag for the research group to master RFID tag designs. The user can program and further extend the use of this tag according to the requirements. This RFID tag is provided with JTAG interface to program and debug. The read range of this prototype tag is found to be 1m with reader EIRP of 30dBm. The second design is a passive tag which can be commercialized. It achieves a competitive read range of 2.9m for reader EIRP of 21dBm. The read range when measured in a practical implementation inside a building corridor was 15m.

La technologie « Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) » est devenue de plus en plus répandue dans le déploiement de diverses applications, telles que le contrôle des stocks et la gestion de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons une recherche systématique sur les problèmes de recherche liés au comptage et à la surveillance d’étiquettes RFID, deux composants fondamentaux dans les systèmes RFID, en particulier dans des systèmes à grande échelle. Ces problèmes sont simples à formuler et intuitivement compréhensible, tandis que tous les deux présentent des défis importants à la fois fondamentaux et pratiques, et exigent des efforts non négligeables à résoudre. Plus précisément, nous abordons les problèmes suivants allant de la modélisation et de l'analyse théorique, à la conception et l’optimisation de l'algorithme pratique. Pour poser les bases théoriques pour la conception et l'optimisation des algorithmes de comptage et la surveillance d'étiquette, nous commençons par étudier la stabilité de FSA. Techniquement, nous modélisons le “backlog’’ du système comme une chaîne de Markov, dont ses états sont la taille du “backlog’’ au début de chaque trame. Nous établissons ensuite un cadre générique d'estimation du nombre d’étiquettes RFID basée sur le filtre de Kalman pour des systèmes RFID statiques et dynamiques. Nous procédons en suite à résoudre le problème de détection des étiquettes manquantes, l'une des applications les plus importantes dans les systèmes RFID. Différent des travaux existants dans ce domaine, nous nous concentrons sur deux scénarios inexplorés mais fondamentalement importants, celui en présence d'étiquettes inattendues et celui des systèmes RFID multiple-région multi-groupe. Dans le premier scénario, nous développons un protocole à deux phases à base de filtre de Bloom. Dans le deuxième scénario, nous développons trois protocoles de détection d'étiquette manquante en intégrant une version améliorée de la conception du filtre Bloom. / Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been deployed in various applications, such as inventory control and supply chain management. In this thesis, we present a systematic research on a number of research problems related to tag counting and monitoring, one of the most fundamental component in RFID systems, particularly when the system scales. These problems are simple to state and intuitively understandable, while of both fundamental and practical importance, and require non-trivial efforts to solve. Specifically, we address the following problems ranging from theoretical modeling and analysis, to practical algorithm design and optimization. To lay the theoretical foundations for the algorithm design and optimization, we start by studying the stability of frame slotted Aloha. We model system backlog as a Markov chain. The main objective is translated to analyze the ergodicity of the Markov chain. We then establish a framework of stable and accurate tag population estimation schemes based on Kalman filter for both static and dynamic RFID systems. We further proceed to addressing the problem of missing tag detection, one of the most important RFID applications. Different from existing works in this field, we focus on two unexplored while fundamentally important scenarios, missing tag detection in the presence of unexpected tags and in multiple-group multiple-region RFID systems. In the first scenario, we develop a Bloom filter-based protocol. In the second scenario, we develop three protocols by incorporating an improved version of the Bloom filter design.

This thesis deals with RFID tags design. It comprises an overview of the RDIF technology while focusing upon the passive tags in UHF band. The CST Microwave studio software has been used for draft simulations. The resulting tags have been subjected to parameter measuring – the reflection coefficient, the minimum capacity needed to switch on the tag, the maximum reading distance. The influence of the proximity of metal objects and other materials has also been examined.

Esta nova etiqueta poderá ser capaz de operar em duas bandas de frequências diferentes para a transmissão da informação binária, aproveitando a utilização em sua concepção de antenas dual-band. A técnica aqui mencionada é clássica, conhecida como diversidade de frequência, mas é utilizada neste trabalho pela primeira vez aplicada em etiquetas chipless de RFID visando aumentar a confiabilidade da comunicação com as leitoras de RFID. Simulações realizadas do novo dispositivo proposto com o software HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) mostraram o seu desempenho adequado. A metodologia do projeto é apresentada passo a passo e os resultados são analisados e discutidos no texto / Abstract: The project and the theoretical-experimental analysis of a new chipless RFID tag with redundant communication is presented.

A tag system using RFID is proposed to avoid bending down, walking around, or bending over a bench for scanning ski boots (for their sole measurement). Using methods such as observations and interviews, the problem was defined and then visualised with the help of a persona and storyboard. Ideas were then created through brainstorming, braindrawing, and morphological matrix. They were then sorted through by feasibility and interest and combined to create three separate concepts. These were discussed, and two finalists were analysed further and compared in a weight value matrix. The final concept is a slanted footpad with a footprint and built-in lights to invite the user and promote correct usage, which has been the project’s focus.
