RFID 시스템에서 태그는 리더와 전자기 에너지 교환에 의해 동작을 하며 배터리를 사용하는 active 형 태그와 배터리를 사용하지 않는 passive형 태그로 크게 구분된다. 또한 태그는 자체 회로구조에 의해 harmonic 태그, anharmonic 태그, sequenced amplifier 태그로 나뉜다. Passive 태그에서는 리더의 반송파 backscatter 방식을 이용하여 동작을 하며 active 태그는 자체 발진회로에 의해 태그정보를 송신한다. 태그의 변조방식으로 PSK, FSK, ASK 등을 사용하며 변조방법에 따라 회로 구성과 프로토콜 설계가 달라진다. 또한 리더의 전파 신호를 정류하기 위하여 렉테나(rectenna)가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태그의 분류, 동작, 구조 등에 관한 일반적인 내용을 기술하였다. 특히 UHF 대역 이상의 태그 기술 최근 추세가 안테나 부분을 제외하고 CMOS one chip화 하는 수준으로서 900 MHz UHF 대역, 2.45 GHz RFID 칩이 상용화 되어 있다. 칩의 내부구조와 태그의 변조방식에 의거한 동작에 관한 개괄적인 내용을 서술하였다.

In this paper, a This paper presents the Hilbert curve Fractal Antenna has properties of Self-similarity and Plane-Filling. In case of fractal antenna is very useful to be small and multiple resonant. The antenna has a resonant frequency of 910MHz and 2450MHz base on RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification). In particular, we designed tag antenna by the $4^{th}$ repeat. According to the repeated number of fractal structures, resonance frequency became looking downward. Theses presented Frequency, Such as 910MHz and 2450MHz, at $S_{11}$ is -31dB and -19dB, bandwidth 120MHz and 90MHz to VSWR 2:1.

UHF RFID 시스템에서는 출력제한의 엄격히 규제됨에 따라 리더의 출력신호에 의존하는 패시브 태그의 후방산란(Backscattering)되는 신호는 매우 낮은 전력을 가진 미약한 신호가 되어 왜곡과 잡음의 영향을 크게 받는다. 이러한 문제는 신호검출을 어렵게 만들고 이를 개선하기 위하여 리더의 시스템은 복잡해지고 있다. 또한 현장에서 신호 검출을 위하여 근접거리에 리더를 설치하거나 협소한 공간에 다수의 리더를 설치하여 신호 검출을 하고 있다. 이러한 설치 방법은 사고의 위험이나 리더 간의 간섭에 따른 신호 검출을 더욱 어렵게 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 태그의 패키징과 리더 안테나의 개선을 통한 태그의 인식거리 개선을 통해 신호검출의 신뢰성을 확보하는 방안에 대해서 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, the open loop antenna using a strip-conductor for an RFID reader at dual-band frequency(910MHz, 2.45GHz) is proposed. The impedance is matched by varying the antenna parameters such as the length of strip-conductor and the gap of between two strip-conductors. Return loss and gain of designed antenna are -11.919dB, 2.5dBi at 910MHz, and -15.766dB, 5.65dBi at 2.45GHz, respectively.

Recently UHF RFID system has drawn a great deal of attention because of its potential to revolutionize supply chain management. An important characterization of the performance of a RFID system is 'interrogation range', which is defined as the maximum distance between a reader and a tag. Forward-link interrogation range is defined as the maximum distance from which the tag receives just enough power to turn on and back-scatter, and reverse-tink interrogation range is the maximum distance from which the reader can detect this back-scattered signal. A link balance has to be found between the two interrogation ranges. In this paper, the interrogation range equations are formulated in both forward-link and reverse-link and a trade-off between the two values is investigated in order to maximize the interrogation range. As a result, it is observed that the gain of the reader antenna, the isolation of the circulator, and the phase noise of the local oscillator with range correlation effect mainly determine the reverse-link interrogation range.

Finding out the exact location of survivors in short period of time is critical to conduct rescue activity successfully in oceans. Current technology with natural circumstances limits the activity that our efforts come along. R&D Center housed at Korea Coast Guard (KCG) has developed the system named "RFID for Life jacket" which enables us to access the location of persons under distressed situation. The RFID has been widely known as state-of-art technology to monitor the location even in inland or in ocean. Composed of tag, antenna. reader and middleware, RFID is attached to attached to a life jacket that people usually wears in recreational activity. By conducting experiments in pilot-scale several times, successful results showing 96.7% of transmission within 3.5km in diameter were produced. This study explains the routes of experiments to reach the goal and expected results coming from this accomplishments.

In the RFID system using ISM-band, The tag mounted at the object has used the DC power by rectifying the RF signals of the small antenna for operating the micro-controller and memory. The performance of the tag would be reduced because of the second harmonics generated by the nonlinearity of the semiconductor and the spurious signal excited the high order mode of the antenna. This paper has realized the novel type low-pass filter with "the Stub-I type DGS slot structure" to improve the efficiency of the tag by suppressing the harmonics. The optimized frequency character at the pass-band/stop-band has obtained by tuning the stub width and slit width of I type slot. The measured result of the LPF has the cutoff frequency 3.25 GHz, the insertion loss about -0.29~-0.3 dB at pass-band 2.4 GHz~2.5 GHz, the return loss about -27.688~-33.665 dB at pass-band with a good performance, and the suppression character is about -19.367 dB at second harmonics frequency 4.9 GHz. This DGS LPF may be applied the various application as the RFID, WLAN to improve the efficiency of the system by suppressing the harmonics and spurious signals.

We have studied on the possibility of precise positioning using hybrid Track Circuit system. Hybrid Track Circuit uses RFID which replaces UHF. Hybrid Track Circuit is a part of next generation railroad signal system which is available to communicate with a railway on board system based on a realtime operating system. If applicate on a current hand operating subway, phenomenon caused by driver's mistake such as passing a stop without stopping or mismatch error between PSD and train door should be prevented.

In this paper, an optimum design center frequency proposes portable RFID reader antenna that is 920MHz frequency using the Taguchi's Method. Proposed antenna is cut corner of opposite angle and it's structure that have slots in four sides microstrip patch of a perfect square shape. This slot structure can miniaturize microstrip patch antenna and confirmed through an experiment that size of antenna about 18% decreases than structure that slot does not exist. Because compact antenna that have structure of slot changes according to complex design variables, analysis and experimental design for minimization of experiment number of times are required for optimum antenna design. In this research, designed antenna that have optimum structure when introduce and designs table of orthogonal arrays of the Taguchi's Method been experimental design that can minimize analysis and experiment number of times, achieve responsiveness analysis of main elements and analyzes the effect and minimizes design repeat with analysis result. Presented experiment result about antenna special quality that permittivity is 4.4 and manufactures to board of Epoxy 3.2T.
