Passive RFID tags pose an interesting solution to localizing nodes because an outside reader, rather than the tag, supplies the power to the tag. Thus, utilizing passive RFID technology allows a localization scheme to not be limited to objects that have wireless communication capability because the technique only requires that the object carries a RFID tag. This paper illustrates a method in which objects can be localized without the need to communicate received signal strength information between the reader and the tagged item. The method matches tag count percentage patterns under different signal attenuation levels to a database of tag count percentages, attenuations and distances from the base station reader.","PeriodicalId":369499,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on RFID","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125369062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The RFID tags can transmit at carrier frequencies anywhere within a wide band of 30 MHz centred on 5.8 GHz. The synchronisation technique uses a carrier frequency estimator which is implemented using SAW dispersive delay filters. The carrier frequency estimator uses the spectral properties of the received signal to estimate the carrier frequency. The performance of the synchronisation technique on a BPSK modulated carrier signal has been examined for two peak search algorithms.","PeriodicalId":369499,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on RFID","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115130331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
