Abstract
Active RFID tags are currently used in harbor transportation; they are attached to cargo containers for sea transportation. They are designed to be able to be identified by RFID readers installed at ports in many countries. The international standard ISO/IEC 18047-7 regarding RFID conformance test methods suggests the use of air interface evaluation between an RFID reader and a tag. However, the test method suggested by the international standard is intended to detect a radio signal over only a very short period. Outcomes were uncertain, making it difficult to evaluate the system accurately. This paper proposes a new evaluation method by incorporating a 'self-running test mode' environment into the RFID tags in order to reduce the test time and increase testing accuracy. We found that the application of the suggested method to actual tags improves measurement time and uncertainty over that obtained using existing methods.
