Being able to quickly locate valuable medical equipment is critical inside hospitals. In order to utilize limited budget and resources efficiently, accurate locating or tracking is required in many fields. In this research, we focus on how to find the location of missing assets by using RFID in real time indoors to track equipment. When equipment needs to be searched, the purpose of a RFID device is to minimize the time, investment cost and effort spent searching for the equipment. Thus, this research presents a mathematical model of using RFID (both handheld reader and stationary reader) for efficient asset location. We derive the expected time of locating RFID-tagged objects in a multi-area environment where hand-held RF readers are used. We then discuss where to deploy stationary RF readers in order to maximize the efficiency of the search process.

Auto-ID industries and their services have been improved since decades ago, and radio frequency identification (RFID) has been contributing in many applications. Product management can be the foremost example. In our industrial experiences, RFID in ultra high frequency (UHF) band provides much longer interrogation ranges than that of 13.56MHz; many more applications exist thereby. There should be several interesting and useful ideas on UHF RFID; however, those ideas can be limited due to the inevitable environmental circumstances that restrict the interrogation range in shorten value. This paper discusses the propagation interference among different types of readers (e.g, mobile RFID readers in stationary reader zone) in dense-reader environment. In most cases, UHF RFIDs in Korea will be dependent on the UHF mobile RFIDs. In this sense, the UHF mobile users accidently move into the stationary reader's interrogation zone. This is serious problem. In this paper, we analyze propagation loss and propose the effective channel allocation scheme that can contribute developing less-invasive UHF RFID networks. The simulation and practical measurement process using the commercial CAD tools and measurement equipments are presented.

이 연구 에서 수동형 UHF RFID을 기반으로 하는 개체 위치인식 시스템에서 리더 안테나 위치가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 고정식 RFID 판독기 시스템을 사용하는 개체 위치인식 시스템의 성능은 리더 안테나와 수동형 RFID 테그간 통신 시 전파의 지상 및 장애물에 의한 반사로 인하여 그 성능이 현저하게 변화된다. 이 연구에서 다양한 안테나 위치와 RF의 조건과 차이점을 연구하였으며, 본 연구에서 UHF RFID 기반 위치 파악 시스템을 구축하여 리더 안테나의 위치와 타겟 간의 내 외부 조건에 따른 성능 차이를 실험을 통하여 상세 분석하였다.
