In this paper, we propose an indoor logistic tracking system that identifies the location and inventory of the logistics in the room based on fingerprints. Through this, we constructed the actual infrastructure of the logistics center and designed and implemented the logistics management system. The proposed system collects the signal strength through the location terminal and generates the signal map to locate the goods. The location terminal is composed of a UHF RFID reader and a wireless LAN card, reads the peripheral RFID signal and the signal of the wireless AP, and transmits it to the web server. The web server processes the signal received from the location terminal and stores it in the database, and the user uses the data to produce the signal map. The proposed system combines UHF RFID with existing fingerprinting method to improve performance in the environment of querying multiple objects.

Recently, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) market spread in industry region is entering a phase of stagnation due to cost issue. RFID tag inlay cost has become relatively more expensive due to the recent decrease in chip price. Therefore, a simple and rapid design technique for RFID tag has yet to be implemented to achieve low cost. This paper presents a design technique considering chip impedance for antenna design for improved accuracy and computation time. As a result, it is confirmed that analysis error for resonance ranges within 20MHz and readable range error falls within 1.5m.

In this paper, the power management module of wireless sensor node is designed and fabricated utilizing RF energy from reader antenna of commercial RFID system, which is mainly categorized in the energy harvesting. For this, the rectenna and the high efficient boost converter is designed to get the DC power from RF power for the charging the battery. When the RF power from RFID reader antenna is 1.2[W], the DC power of 3.1[mW] at the distance of 1[m] and 1[mW] at 5.5[m] are obtained. Considering the connection to the battery, the boost converter for enhancing the conversion efficiency is designed. The conversion efficiency at the distance of 4[m] is 79.3[%] and the harvested power is 1.36[mW] which is actually used for the charging the battery. This value is available in the wireless sensor networking.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) systems are attracting attention as a key component of Internet of Things technology due to the cost and energy efficiency of application services. In order to use RFID technology in the IoT application service field, it is necessary to be able to store and manage various information for a long period of time as well as simple recognition between the reader and tag of the RFID system. And in order to read and write information to tags, a performance improvement technology that is strong and reliable in poor wireless channels is needed. In particular, in the UHF(Ultra High Frequency) RFID system, since multiple tags communicate passively in a crowded environment, it is essential to improve the recognition rate and transmission speed of individual tags. In this paper, Middleton's Class A impulsive noise model was selected to analyze the performance of the RFID system in an impulsive noise environment, and FM0 encoding and Miller encoding were applied to the tag to analyze the error rate performance of the RFID system. As a result of analyzing the performance of the RFID system in Middleton's Class A impulsive noise channel, it was found that the larger the Gaussian noise to impulsive noise power ratio and the impulsive noise index, the more similar the characteristics to the Gaussian noise channel.

In this paper, a direct down conversion LNA/Mixer has been designed and tested for 900Mhz UHF RFID application. The designed circuit has been implemented in 0.18um CMOS technology with 3.3V operation. In this work, a common gate input architecture has been used to cope with the higher input self jamming level. This LNA/Mixer is designed to support two operating modes of high gain mode and low gain mode according to the input jamming levels. The measured results show that the input referred P1dBs are 4dBm of high gain mode and 11dBm of low gain mode, and the conversion gains are 12dB and 3dB in high and low gain mode respectively The power consumptions are 60mW for high gain mode and 79mW for low gain mode. The noise figures are 16dB and 20dB in high gain mode and low gain mode respectively.

A regulated low phase noise differential colpitts VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) for mobile RFID system is presented. The differential colpitts VCO meets the dense reader environment specifications. The VCO use a $0.35{\mu}m$ technology and achieves tuning range $1.55{sim}2.053 GHz$. Measuring 910 MHz frequency divider output, phase noise performance is -106 dBcMz and -135dBc/Hz at 40 kHz and 1MHz offset, respectively. 5-bit digital coarse-tuning and accumulation type MOS varactors allow for 28.2% tuning range, which is required to cover the LO frequency range of a UHF Mobile RFID system, Optimum design techniques ensure low VCO gain(<45 MHz/V) for good interoperability with the frequency synthesizer. To the author' knowledge, this differential colpitts VCO achieves a figure of merit(FOM) of 1.93dB at 2-GHz band.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system is an automated identification system that basically consists of tags and readers and Back-End-Databases. Tags and Readers communicate with each other by RF signal. As a reader can identify many tags in contactless manner using RF signal, RFID system is expected to do a new technology to replace a bar-code system in supply-chain management and payment system and access control and medical record and so on. However, RFID system creates new threats to the security of systems and privacy of individuals, Because tags and readers communicate with each other in insecure channel using RF signal. So many people are trying to study various manners to solve these problems against attacks, But they are difficult to apply to RFID system based on EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. Recently, Chien and Chen proposed a mutual Authentication protocol for RFID conforming to EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. we discover vulnerabilities of security and inefficiency about their protocol. Therefore, We analyze vulnerabilities of their protocol and propose an efficient mutual authentication protocol that improves security and efficiency.

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.
