This paper is about designing and implementation of Multi-Function UHF RFID Reader Platform that receives and processes RFID tag data from the tags, and transmits the data to PC server through Bluetooth, USB, RS-232 or Ethernet. This reader system is composed of RFID module, ARM processor, RS-232 interface, USB, Ethernet MAC interface, Bluetooth etc.. This paper also provides a brief overview and concept of RFID reader, and proposes the design and implementations of the RFID reader platform. The paper evaluates and analyzes two practical implementations, fixed type and portable type.

This study has designed a circular polarization antenna for UHF bandwidth RFID reader. As a result of performance test of the antenna designed it is found that return loss (S11) is about -45.529dB at 914MHz, which is relatively small, and antenna gain is about 6.09dBi. It has also been confirmed that $50{\Omega}$ impedance matching is about $50.48{$\Omega}$ and it can be applied to every RFID reader. Therefore, the antenna is designed to have higher gain of circular polarization by improving reception, which is one of the most important parameters of RFID reader and is expected to be extensively used to recognize multi-tag in the distance.

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.

In this research, we investigate an influence of a reader antenna location in Passive UHF RFID system based Object localization. When the localization system uses stationary RFID reader system, the performances of the system are significantly varied depending on the deployed antenna conditions due to its external environment such as reflection by the ground and obstacles. In this research we deeply study the RF conditions and differentiation with various antenna location. According to the empirical results, the localization system shows the best performance, where the reader antenna locates 1.5m from the target area of interest.

Recently UHF RFID system has drawn a great deal of attention because of its potential to revolutionize supply chain management. In this article, RFID reader-to-reader interference is analyzed in terms of interrogation range. For evaluating RFID interference quantitatively, the new figure-of-merit, IRRR, is defined. In order to show the usefulness of IRRR, calculated IRRR is verified by measurement using two RFID readers and a tag in multiple-reader environment. IRRR can be referred to an important design parameter to analyze more complex interfering problems in actual RFID system deployments.

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.

In order to improve readability, a leakage-signal canceller has been proposed in UHF-band RFID readers. The proposed canceller is composed of two blocks: an environment monitoring block for detection of Tx and RX power levels and a leakage cancellation block. The leakage canceller consists of directional-couplers, digital attenuators and phase shifters based on the feed-forward scheme. The leakage canceller is located between antenna and reader. An improved experimental characterization of the scheme is presented with results from the reader operating in the Korean RFID frequency band, conforming the validity of the approach with more than 29 dB of leakage cancellation.
