Passive UHF RFID Tag for Airport Suitcase Tracking and Identification
A passive UHF tag configuration is presented for
suitcase identification and tracking in airport handling
applications. The proposed tag antenna solution is based on a
conformal geometry, consisting of a folded dipole with orthogonal
arms, appropriate for integration into the wall of injection
moulded suitcases during its fabrication process. The tag antenna
is designed for the ALIEN Higgs-2 integrated circuit. Simulated
frequency dependence of the proposed UHF passive tag shows
adequate performance across the world UHF RFID bands.
Maximum tag detection range as well as detection isotropy were
measured in several test environments both for a prototype tag
attached to a suitcase and for a tag embedded in the suitcase wall.
Full detection of the embedded tag was obtained for all suitcase
orientations in the tested scenarios
Intelligent Sensor Networks
In the last decade, wireless or wired sensor networks have attracted much attention. However, most designs target general sensor network issues including protocol stack (routing, MAC, etc.) and security issues. This book focuses on the close integration of sensing, networking, and smart signal processing via machine learning. Based on their world-class research, the authors present the fundamentals of intelligent sensor networks. They cover sensing and sampling, distributed signal processing, and intelligent signal learning. In addition, they present cutting-edge research results from leading experts
