An analog front-end circuit for ISO/IEC 14443-compatible radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogators was designed and fabricated by using a $0.25{\mu}m$ double-poly CMOS process. The fabricated chip was operated using a 3.3 Volt single-voltage supply. The results of this work could be provided as reusable IPs in the form of hard or firm IPs for designing single-chip ISO/IEC 14443-compatible RFID interrogators.

본 논문은 최근 전세계적으로 유통물류를 비롯한 산업 전반에 걸쳐 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 기술이 새로운 성장 동력으로 각광을 받고 있다. 유비쿼터스 시대에서 RFID는 빼놓을 수 없는 시스템 이다. RFID/USN 사업 추진시 공부하는 학생들이 RFID 시스템을 학습하기 위해서 자료를 구할 때는 비밀유지계약서를 체결해야 한다. RFID 시스템을 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있고, 기술 인력도 현재 부족하여 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이런 문제점을 보안하기 위하여 공부하는 학생들이 RFID 시스템을 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 제작하였다. 여러 가지 규약에 의해 제안되었던 문제점을 해결하는데 의의가 있다. 별도의 RFID 전용칩을 사용하지 않고, 마이크로콘트롤러를 사용하여 저가격 RFID 학습 시스템을 구현하였다. 13.56MHz RFID 시스템의 ISO14443A 읽기/쓰기 방법에 대해 설명하고, HF 대역의 13.56MHz RFID 시스템의 구성에 대해서 소개한다. 구현한 RFID 시스템을 활용하여 응용 프로그램을 제작하여 실습을 진행하였다. RFID 시스템의 구조를 쉽게 이해하기 위하여 각각의 모듈로 분류하여 나누어 제작하였다. 태그의 EEPROM 메모리에 정보가 어떻게 저장 되는지를 학습할 수 있도록 C#을 사용하여 응용 프로그램을 설계 및 구현하여 실습하였다. 학습자가 RFID 시스템이 산업분야에서 어떻게 활용되는지 이해를 돕기 위하여 학생증 발급 시스템을 구현하였다.

We have proposed a UHF/HF multi-band RFID reader, and have implemented it into a system in a package(SiP). The proposed SiP RFID reader has been designed to support both for EPCgloabal Class1 Generation2 protocol of UHF band, and 13.56MHz RFID protocols of ISO14443 A/B type, and ISO15693 standards. The operating mode is controlled by embedded RISC core, and the mode can be selected by users. The area of implemented SiP is $40mm{\times}40mm$ with 4 metal layers. The implemented reader SiP operates at single supply voltage of 3.3V. The maximum current consumption is 210mA. The operating distances are 5cm for 13.56MHz modes, and 20cm for UHF mode.

ISO/IEC14443-1(1), ISO/IEC10536-1(2), 그리고 ISO/IEC15693-1(3)에서 정의하고 있는 비접촉식 카드의 교류전기장 및 교류자기장에 대한 내성력 시험에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 상기 규격은 ISO/IEC JTC1 기술위원회의 SC17에서 다루고 있으며, 아직 상기 표준 규격은 초안 상태에 있어 상세한 시험 방법에 대한 규격이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 칩 카드 수입국은 수출업자에게 교류전기장 및 교류자기장 내성시험을 요구하고 있다. 따라서 업계에서는 시험 시설, 시험 방법, 시험 절차, 시험 평가 부분에서 많은 혼란이 발생되고 있다. 이러한 시험에 대한 대응책이 국가적 차원에서 시급히 마련되어야 할 것이다. 본 고에서는 이를 위한 일련의 과정으로서, 칩 카드 관련 국제 규격(1)-(5) 동향을 살펴보고, 교류전기장 및 교류자기장 내성력 시험 절차를 마련하기 위한 관점에서 IEC61000 시리즈 중에서 RF 복사 내성시험인 IEC61000-4-3(6), IEC61000-4-8, IEC61000-4-9, IEC61000-4-10, IEC61000-4-23(7)에 대한 분석을 동시에 실시하였다.

We developed a RFID terminal to voice guide the blind who have difficulties in reaching out to the pharmaceutical information. In this work, we used RFID technology to instruct the pharmaceutical information to the blind. The voice guidance reader was made to read the RFID tag attached to the drugs and announced the pharmaceutical information matching to the tag specific ID. We had the reader to obtain the pharmaceutical information from the ezDrug site operated by Korea Food & Drug Association. The voice guidance reader was fabricated as necklace type for the easy carry, and we added mp3 player as dual uses. ARM series Cortex M3 chip was used for the reader's core chip and low power MFRC523 chipset of NXP was used to construct RFID circuit. MFRC523 chip uses low power to meet the mobile application. We used VS1003B MP3 Decoder IC to make the voice generation circuit and CC2500 chipset for the wireless communication to the pharmaceutical information server. We also developed the system that can support ISO 14443A type and ISO 14443B type so that the system can be used to extend to various RFID protocols. Utilization of this system can conveniently convey the pharmaceutical information to the blind and reduce the drug abuse.

In this paper, we investigated the recognition range according to modulation index for the ISO(International Standards Organization) 14443 13.56MHz contactless Type B RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system. We measured recognition range with changing modulation index step by step from 5% to 24% where we used 4 samples of Type B transponder with different resonance frequencies between 13.838MHz and 17.200MHz. While gradually increasing a distance in vertical direction from the center of the reader antenna, we measured the distance where the transponder's PUPI(Pseudo Unique PICC(Proximity IC Card) Identifier) is recognized continuously during 10 seconds and the distance where the transponder's PUPI is recognized at least two times during 5 seconds. From the measurement results, we found that the best recognition ranges were achieved when the reader had modulation index between 11% and 14%.

In this paper, we investigated the change of recognition distance according to the resonance frequency of the transponder for the ISO 14443 Type A 13.56MHz RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system. We made thirteen transponders of the same size. The dimension of the transponder is $84.65mm{\times}53.00mm{\times}0.45mm$. We measured the resonance frequency by means of an inductive coupling. The measured resonance frequencies were between 12.9MHz and 17.3MHz. We measured the maximum distances where the transponder's USN(Unique Serial Number) was recognized and the subcarrier was observed. The measurement results show that we can obtain good performance when the Type A transponder has the resonance frequency around 14.2MHz for the given case.

This paper proposed a transponder detection method to reduce recognition time in RFID system. It's also shown that conventional procedure of communication in the system could cause a waste of time when a reader recognizes a transponder. The reduction of recognition time can be obtained by developing a circuit to detect a transponder actively. Detecting a transponder is achieved by using the voltage variation of reader antenna voltage that happens when a transponder approaches to the vicinity of magnetic field formed by the reader. By adding a comparator to the antenna receiver of a reader, the reader can perceive approach or existence of a transponder. A reader for experiment is made using the MFRC500 by Phillips that supports ISO/IEC 14443 protocol. Comparing the proposed method with the conventional methods by experiment, there are 47.5ms reduction of recognition time maximally and 12ms in average.

Recent development of ubiquitous technology prompted its application for the blinds. In this work, we developed an RFID goggle equipped with a voice guide for the blinds who have difficulties in obtaining medication informations. When a blind, wearing our RFID goggle, tags the RFID tag attached to a drug, the RFID goggle announces the already saved medication information. We used STM32 as MCU and MFRC523 for RFID chipset in the reader. Our miniaturized hardware supported ISO 14443A protocol, and the standardized conformance test was performed. When the blinds wear our RFID goggle, they can conveniently access to the medication informations, and thus the drug misuse cases may decrease.
