A new meander-line antenna consisting of two open-ended strips is proposed for a compact and broadband UHF radio frequency identification tag. An equivalent circuit model for the proposed antenna is derived and used to perform a simple and wideband impedance match to an arbitrary complex impedance of a tag chip without any additional matching network. The performance of the proposed antenna is validated by comparing calculated and measured results, which show good agreement.

An UHF ($860{\sim}960MHz$) RFID tag antenna is optimized and designed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The tag antenna impedance should be matched to the conjugate of the impedance of the tag IC Chip. The chip impedance has real and capacitive imaginary parts due to the parasitic capacitance of the RFID chip. A GA linked with a commercially available antenna simulation program optimizes the UHF $860{\sim}960\;MHz$ tag antenna to match a commercially available RFID chip. This method shows that any RFID antenna can be designed for any commercial RFID chip with any impedance.

In this paper, we examined the operating principle of a passive tag antenna for RFID system in UHF band. Based on the study, we proposed a novel RFID tag antenna which adopts the inductively coupled feeding structure to match antenna impedance to a capacitively loaded commercial tag chip. The proposed tag antenna consists of microstrip lines on a thin PET substrate for low-cost fabrication. The detail structure of the tag antenna were optimized using a full electromagnetic wave simulator of IE3D in conjunction with a Pareto genetic algorithm, and the size of the tag antenna can be reduced up to kr=0.27(2 cm2). We built some sample antennas and measured the antenna characteristics such as a return loss, an efficiency, and radiation patterns. The readable range of the tag antenna with a commercial RFID system showed about 1 to 3 m.

Object recognition in the field of robotics generally has depended on a computer vision system. Recently, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology has been suggested to support recognition and has been rapidly and widely applied. This paper introduces the more advanced RFID-based recognition. A novel tag named 3D tag, which facilitates the understanding of the object, was designed. The previous RFID-based system only detects the existence of the object, and therefore, the system should find the object and had to carry out a complex process such as pattern match to identify the object. 3D tag, however, not only detects the existence of the object as well as other tags, but also estimates the orientation and position of the object. These characteristics of 3D tag allows the robot to considerably reduce its dependence on other sensors required for object recognition the object. In this paper, we analyze the 3D tag's detection characteristic and the position and orientation estimation algorithm of the 3D tag-based RFID system.

Bar-code (tag) microarrays of yeast gene-deletion collections facilitate the systematic identification of genes required for growth in any condition of interest. Anti-sense strands of amplified bar-codes hybridize with ~10,000 (5,000 each for up-and down-tags) different kinds of sense-strand probes on an array. In this study, we optimized the hybridization processes of an array for fission yeast. Compared to the first version of the array (11 ㎛, 100K) consisting of three sectors with probe pairs (perfect match and mismatch), the second version (11 ㎛, 48K) could represent ~10,000 up-/ down-tags in quadruplicate along with 1,508 negative controls in quadruplicate and a single set of 1,000 unique negative controls at random dispersed positions without mismatch pairs. For PCR, the optimal annealing temperature (maximizing yield and minimizing extra bands) was 58℃ for both tags. Intriguingly, up-tags required 3× higher amounts of blocking oligonucleotides than down-tags. A 1:1 mix ratio between up- and down-tags was satisfactory. A lower temperature (25℃) was optimal for cultivation instead of a normal temperature (30℃) because of extra temperature-sensitive mutants in a subset of the deletion library. Activation of frozen pooled cells for >1 day showed better resolution of intensity than no activation. A tag intensity analysis showed that tag(s) of 4,316 of the 4,526 strains tested were represented at least once; 3,706 strains were represented by both tags, 4,072 strains by up-tags only, and 3,950 strains by down-tags only. The results indicate that this microarray will be a powerful analytical platform for elucidating currently unknown gene functions.

Intelligent schemes for an automatic generation of DEM (digital elevation model) are implemented. The need for these post-processing schemes is that interpolation alone produces severe blunders, however sophisticated it is. These blunders occur most seriously along the boundaries of a scene, over rivers, and along the coast. Even a state-of-the-art commercial software retains such blunders. The intelligent schemes implemented are (1) center-of-gravity and empty-center-index which quantify how evenly distributed interpolants are within in interpolation radius. (2) a segmentation scheme to discern whether or not an empty segment in stereo-match results should be interpolated, and (3) a segmentation scheme for removing noise-like features, with these methods, in the final DEM, identical coastline and river region to those in the original SPOT scenes are achieved. The DEM exhibits substantial improvements over the products of an existing commercial software.

모바일 RFID 는 ‘모바일’과 'RFID’ 특징의 결합이라는 강력한 장점을 가지고 있어서 사용자 정보에 대한 파악과 사용자의 위치 및 상황에 따른 광고에 다양하게 활용될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에는 태그 매치 광고를 중심으로 한 모바일 RFID 광고 비즈니스 모델을 설계한다. 이를 위해 모바일 RFID 서비스의 특징 및 서비스 유형을 분류하는 것에서부터 연구를 시작하여, 모바일 RFID 광고의 정의 및 유형을 분류한다. 이후 모바일 RFID를 활용한 태그 매치 광고를 중심으로 시나리오를 제시하고, 비즈니스 모델의 프로세스 분석 및 각 사업 참여자들의 역할 및 제공가치와 인센티브를 고찰한다. 본 비즈니스 모델의 타당성을 논증하기 위해 태그 매치 광고와 유사성이 있는 온라인 광고 모델 및 모바일 광고에 대하여 검토한다.

This paper describes the design of a coplanar-stripline(CPS) antenna without via hole in microstrip patch type for 910MHz RFID tags using the HFSS simulator. In order to obtain the simplified fabrication design of the antenna, we have used only an impedance matching network to match the impedance of a RFID-tag chip to that of the antenna, not using bandpass filter(BPF). In advance of the optimized antenna design, we have obtained and shown a good agreement compared with the published antenna for 5.8GHz in order to verify the simulation parameters in the HFSS. Based on the verified simulation parameters in the HFSS, we have designed and optimized the 910MHz-CPS-type microstrip patch antenna. The designed simulation results of the antenna show that the proposed antenna is very proper for RFID tags with the 910MHz center frequency without via hole in the microstrip patch antenna.
