In this paper, Air-interface protocols of ISO 18000-6 Type A and B applied to RFID system in UHF band are analyzed, and those algorithms are realized. Also, the improved anticollision algorithms for the Type A and B of ISO 18000-6 protocol are proposed and the performances are compared. As the results, reduction ratio of total tag recognition time of the improved ISO 18000-6 Type A algorithm is 35.2 % for 100 tags and 24.3% for 1000 tags with respect to standard algorithm, respectively. And the reduction ratio of the improved ISO 18000-6 Type B algorithm is 6.0% for 100 tags and 6.6% for 1000 tags. Therefore, the improved anticollision algorithm proposed in this paper is the advanced method improving the performance of tag recognition in the RFID system.

This paper proposes a novel anti-collision method for the ISO/IEC 18000-6 type B protocol which is the standard protocol of the 900 MHz RFID system. We improve the anti-collision performance by reducing the transmission number of commands and the length of bits required for multi-tag identification in the ISO/IEC 18000-6 type B protocol. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the multi-tag identification time by 21.7% over the conventional method, irrespective of number of tags.

This paper proposes a windowing method to reduce noise effect and bit synchronization error caused by tolerance of a tag-response signal for ISO/IEC 18000-6 type-B readers. A tag response signal has very weak power because of a back-scattering modulation scheme and thus may be sensitive to noise. In addition, bit tolerance admitted in a tag response signal requires robust timing synchronization because it affects readers' detection performance. To reduce the two undesirable effects in a tag signal, we acquire bit transition position by using variable windows from over-sampled data, and average whole data in one bit duration. With a hardware system adopting the proposed method, we tested and verified its performance.

In recent years, the Internation Standard ISO/IEC 18000-6 is announced and a new scheme of Type C is added to conventional standard. Among the RFID systems the ISO/IEC 18000-6 standard is the most interesting to companies due to its potential market growth. The operating frequency is between 860-960 MHz, and three kinds of RFID system are included in the standard, i.e. type A, B and C. In this paper, we implemented the data frame of type C with baseband coding using VHDL. The data frame is encoded based on Miller code and FM0. We showed the implementation results with waveforms. The data frame was proved that it is properly implemented by the experiment of transmission and receiving operation.

Recently, a considerable number of studies have been made on the $RFID^{[1-6]}$ systems. RFID is a technique of identifying an object using radio frequency transmission. The technology can be used to identify, track, sort or detect a wide variety of objects. The RFID system is composed of two main elements: a reader and a tag. Tags can either be active (powered by battery) or passive (powered by the reader field). The passive tags communicate back to the reader with a technique called 'backscatter'. RFID technology can be applied to the supply chain, security, logistics industry and etc. Especially, UHF RFID is worth noticing because of its relatively long identification range and commercial UHF RFID systems are under development. In this paper, we designed and implemented a UHF RFID reader firmware for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type B specification.

In this thesis, a RFID baseband system is implemented based on the international standard ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type-B using FPCA, and also anti-collision algorithm is implemented to improve the system performance. We compares the performance of the proposed anti-collision algorithm with that binary tree algorithm and bit-by-bit algorithm, and also validated analytic results using OPNET simulation. The proposed algorithm for Type-B transmission protocol and collision prohibition was designed using ISE7.1i which is a FPGA design-tool of Xilinx and implemented with Spartan2 chip which is a FPGA device.

In this paper, Air-interface protocols of ISO 18000-6 Types and EPCglobal Classes applied to RFID system in UHF band are analyzed, and those anticollision algorithms are realized. Also, the each algorithm which improves the performance of standard protocol is proposed, and the performance is compared when clock period of link timing is a identical condition on $12.5{\mu}s$. As the result, when 500 tags exist simultaneously inside reader interrogation zone, the tag recognition performance of a standard protocol is better in preceding order of Class-1 Generation-1, Type B, Type A, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. And also the performance of improved protocol is better in ascending order of Type B, Type A, Class-1 Generation-1, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. Therefore, performance of tag recognition remarkably depends on the regulated clock period in the protocol and link timing between a reader and a tag.

RFID는 유비쿼터스 시스템을 실현할 수 있는 기본적 구성 요소이며, 최근 다양한 응용 분야가 개발되어 실제 적용분야가 점차 증가하고 있는 상황이다. RFID 시스템 확산의 가장 큰 문제점은 현실적으로 태그의 가격을 매우 싸게 만들어야 하는 것이고, 이를 해결하기 위하여 많은 업체들이 기술 개발에 전념하고 있다. RFID 시스템 중에서도 가장 큰 관심을 받고 있는 900MHz 대역의 규격인 ISO/IEC 18000-6에서는 새로이 형식 C가 추가되어 기존의 형식 A, B를 포함하여 모두 세 종류의 형식이 제안되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 형식 C에 대한 규격을 분석하고, 이의 기능 블럭을 VHDL로 구현하였다. 규격에 제안된 것과 동일한 프레임을 구현하고 임의의 데이터를 가정한 후에 데이터 변조 방식으로서 사용되는 PIE와 FM0 변조 방식 등을 구현하고, 이를 송수신 함으로써 변복조가 정확히 구현되었음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we presented the synchronization module between RF shower system and RFID Reader to extend interrogating range on Mobile RFID system, Costas Loop and FPLL(Frequency/phase Lock Loop) were used. We achieved compromised range of 3MHz locking frequency, 1ms locking time and figured out remarkable Hopping frequency of the Reader. The prototype of the new designed RFID system has been tested with ISO18000-6 type-B Tag. The read range between designed RFID Reader and Tag has been measured, it increased triple times by adjusting the Shower system output level.
