Method and laboratory set-up for testing of RFID systems in static and dynamic states

Abstract

Growing popularity and increasing range of the RFID systems implementations make it necessary to conduct multidirectional researches, with a particular focus on theirs operation in the dynamic states, when the reader-programmer antenna (RWD) changes its position relative to the identifier. At present, the most RFID applications are characterized by this form of operation. In the paper the research method and the construction of a laboratory stand for testing the radio-identification systems of the objects have been presented. Their overriding goal is to precise map the desired spatial configuration of the tag's set and the antenna or antenna's set of the programmer-reader (RWD). This method and elaborated set-up allow for the static and dynamic studies, with a full control of the dynamic motion parameters such as a momentary position, speed and acceleration.
