Received Signal Strength Indicator Analysis for Item Tracking using Chipless RFID

Abstract

The impact of RFID on a global scale can optimize the supply chain, monitor process behavior, and remotely track objects. RFID can also contribute to managing material handling, e.g., automatic material sorting, minimize manual work, improve speed, and record the necessary parameters. This paper aims to identify the chipless RFID properties concerning operational factors, tracking, and localization. The readers’ antenna transmitting power is adjusted based upon the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value. Hence, objects connected to the tag from the reader’s coverage area can be tracked and traced efficiently. The outcome of this feasibility study can find usefulness in the classification and provide solutions as chipless RFID on different applications.
