Abstract
RFID is a technology that uses radio frequency to read information in tags attached to objects or people. Because it reads the information without contact when tracking the location using tags in a RFID system, there can be errors between the actual position and measured position. In this paper, three methods (the method of radiation pattern, the method of the median value, and the method using both the radiation pattern and median value) are proposed to identify the location of objects or people using the RFID technique. The location identification system based on RFID was constructed and tags were arranged in a square pattern. The real location and experimentally predicted location of an object containing a reader were compared to confirm the error. Instead of the existing papers that obtained the approximately location of a reader by calculating the center of gravity of all tags read by that reader, in this study, the predicted location was obtained by the median value and the radiation pattern. This study validated which method was the most efficient among the three methods proposed in this paper through the data of the read tags. As a result, the method of the median value had the smallest error among those assessed.
