Research Projects
The design of cost effective and small footprint tag
antennas
, suitable for attachment onto metal surfaces.
Interference studies in high density reader
environments.
Electromagnetic propagation studies applicable to
European Regulations
High security authentication tags
Dual frequency tags, ones that employ UHF techniques
for supply chain applications and then HF for item
management applications.
Passive RFID chip design (modules for implementation)
Analysis and measurement of new forms of reader to
tag signalling

What is RFID?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an
automatic identification method, relying on storing
and remotely retrieving data using devices called
RFID tags or transponders.
An RFID tag consists of……
An Antenna, and
An Integrated Circuit

Host CPU
Application
Do something with the tag information
Potential to generate massive amounts of
data
Once installed it costs virtually NOTHING
to read a tag!
Real time data => real time decisions
