Abstract

In this paper, the theoretical background and the specific implementation method of a compressive receiver for RFID signal detection as well as the design method of DDL(Dispersive Delay Line) and chirp LO are described. DDL, which is one of the main components of the compressive receiver, is designed to have $13{\mu}s$ dispersive delay time and 6 MHz bandwidth using the SAW technique based on $LiNbO_3$ material. The chirp LO is designed using DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer). Also the compressive receiver is fabricated to be installed into the RFID reader. Test results show the maximum frequency error of 25 kHz for single signal input, the receiver sensitivity of -44 dBm, and the maximum frequency error is 75 kHz for 6 multi-tone input signals. These results indicate that the fabricated compressive receiver is working well even in dense RFID operating environments.

본 논문에서는 컴프레시브 RFID 신호를 탐지하기 위한 컴프레시브 수신기의 이론적 배경과 구체적 구현 방법, 그리고 분산 지연선과 chirp LO의 설계 방안에 대해 기술하였다. 컴프레시브 수신기의 주요 구성품 중 하나인 분산 지연선을 대역폭 6 MHz, 분산 지연 시간 $13{\mu}s$으로 설계하여 $LiNbO_3$ 재질 기반의 SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave) 기술을 통해 구현하였고, DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer)를 이용하여 chirp LO를 구현하였다. 또한 RFID 리더에 내장되어 연동될 수 있도록 컴프레시브 수신기를 구성하였다. 시험 결과, 단일 신호 입력시 주파수 오차는 최대 25 kHz, 수신 감도는 -44 dBm, 500 kHz 간격으로 동시에 입력되는 6개의 신호에 대한 주파수 오차는 최대 75 kHz로서 제작된 컴프레시브 수신기가 밀집된 RFID 운영 환경에 적합함을 보였다.
