In a passive UHF RFID system, the impedance matching between tag antenna and chip as well as the protocol parameter settings in a reader plays important role in determination of the maximum read-range. Almost no paper, however, has dealt with the above issues in relation with the maximum read range. In this paper, two known methods (of using the value from data sheets and proprietary RFID tester) and our proposing method in chip impedance evaluation are compared in terms of maximum read range. The read range of tags whose antenna impedance is conjugate matched with the chip impedance obtained from the proposed method is improved maximum 73 % more than that of tags from the other methods.

본 논문에서는 사용자가 이동하는 공간 전체를 Cell로 정의된 단위로 분할하여 Cell 공간 내에 사용자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 선택적으로 제공할 수 있도록 한다. RFID를 이용한 디스플레이 자동 활성화 방법은 특정영역 내에 RFID(Radio frequency Identification) 태그를 지닌 사용자가 감지되면 사용자가 현재 있는 Cell에 사용자에게 맞는 컨텐츠를 선택적으로 제공해주는 것이다. 제안된 시스템은 RFID 태그. RFID 리더, 프로젝션으로 구성되어 있다. RFID 태그에는 사용자에게 맞는 또는 사용자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 저장하고 있으며, RFID 리더는 안테나를 통해 태그의 ID를 수신하게 되며 프로젝션 부분에서는 수신된 ID에 해당하는 컨텐츠를 제공해준다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템은 인터랙티브 디스플레이 환경에서 사용자의 이동에 따른 서비스 제공에 많은 활용이 있을 것이라 기대된다.

A single chip NFC transceiver supporting not only NFC active and passive mode but also 13.56MHz RFID reader and tag mode was designed and fabricated. The proposed NFC transceiver can operate as a RFID tag even without external power supply which has dual antenna structure for initiator and target. The area increment due to additional target antenna is negligible because the target antenna is constructed by using a shielding layer of initiator antenna. The analog front end circuit of the proposed NFC transceiver consists of a transmitter and receiver of reader/writer block supporting NFC initiator or RFID reader mode, and a tag circuit for target of passive NFC mode or RFID tag mode. The maximum baud rate of the proposed NFC device is 212kbps by using UART serial interface. The chip has been designed and fabricated using a Magnachip's $0.35{\mu}m$ double poly 4-metal CMOS process, and the effective area of the chip is 2200um by 3600um.

In this paper, the proposed package antenna, which is meander line structure with short pin, is miniaturized to realize RF-SoP at 900 MHz RFID band. The RFID BGA(Ball Grid Array) chip is put in a cavity of LTCC Layers. The coupling and cross talk, which are happen between BGA chip and proposed package antenna, are reduced by faraday cage, which consists of ground and via fences, is realized to enhance the isolation between BGA chip and antenna. The proposed antenna structure is focused on the package level antenna realization at low frequency band. The novel proposed package antenna size is $13mm{\times}9mm{\times}3.51mm$. The measured resonance frequency is 0.893 GHz. The impedance bandwidth is 9 MHz. The maximum gain of radiation pattern is -2.36 dBi.

In this paper, the dual-band open loop antenna using a strip conductor for the RFID reader and Wireless LAN Application, which has a resonant frequency at 910MHz and 2.45 GHz, is proposed. Input impedance of antenna is matched with the feed line of 50 ohm by varying the length and width of sip conductor making up the antenna. The gain and directivity of antenna is enhanced as tuning the length of strip, and as also grooving the teeth shapes on the strip conductor. The size of fabricated antenna is $75mm\times100mm$. The return loss and the gain of fabricated antenna are -11.92 dB, 3.02 dBi at 910 MHz and -21.31 dB, 4.08 dBi at 2.45 GHz, respectively.

By using Si CMOS process, small RFID tag antenna were fabricated on Si substrate and their electrical properties were evaluated. Firstly, tag antenna pattern and the electromagnetic properties were simulated with HFSS. The frequency was 13.56 MHz, the line-width and line-gap were modeled in the range of $50{\sim}200{\mu}m$. S parameters, SRF, and Q value were calculated from geometry. When the line-width and line-gap were $100{\mu}m$ and $100 {\mu}m$, respectively and the loop-turn was 10, the SRF was 80 MHZ and the Q value was ca. 9. When the microstrip antenna pattern of aluminum $2{\mu}m$ was fabricated by using DC sputtering, Vpp of ca. 4.3 V was obtained when the reader and tag were closely contacted.

An orthogonal antenna is presented for reader applications of radio frequency identification (RFID) at 433 MHz. The antenna is composed of two $1{\times}2$ sub-arrays orthogonally placed on a ground plane. Two different feeding networks are introduced to control horizontal and vertical radiation current flows for each sub-array, respectively. An inverted-F structure is used as a radiation element with vertical and horizontal currents flowing on the radiator, thereby obtaining two linear polarizations. Antenna gains are 3.71 and 3.43 dBi and isolation between the two input ports is less than 25dB.
