Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to familiarize students with all aspects of technology used in modern RFID systems, including near and far field varieties. The physics, design, data structures and control mechanisms for RFID systems are covered. Students will also be familiarized with associated standards, emerging business process models, applications, and social issues arising from the use of RFID.

Learning Outcomes

The students who succeeded in this course;

To know the physical phenomena that governs the operation of near and far field RFID systems at the electro-magnetic and RF spectrum levels.
To understand how these physical phenomena dictate the characteristics of RFID components, especially readers and tags, and how these characteristics will have impact on the intended use of these components.
To know the industry standard algorithms used to discover, disambiguate, and encode data on RFID tokens.
To be able to select RFID system components based on physical measurement requirements and application specifications.
To be able to implement RFID technology in ICT systems to satisfy application needs in the areas of ID management, tracking, sensing, electronic payment, and industrial automation.
To know how security can be protected with respect to the RFID tokens, and the limitations of security methods used with respect to user privacy, robustness, application requirements and cost.

Course Description

Electro-magnetic resonance and magnetic curve based methods, Near field load modulated passive RFID methods, Full active transponders, Spectrum use and performance limitations, Data formats, encoding methods and standards, Data integrity and security for RFID, Multi-tag arbitration and addressing algorithms.
