Abstract
The expeditious growth in RFID technology-based communication has demonstrated that remote communication is feasible for information service. By using a specific standard, conventional remote devices are structured to transfer an individual communication service. The cost of the hardware devices is expensive and not user-friendly. In an RFID system, it is more tedious to work with hardware implementation. The readers in the RFID system are suitable to transmit and receive radio signals only for low (LF) and high frequencies (HF). Hence it is not possible to transmit RFID signals in the conventional hardware system above that range. A viable solution to make the communication system more flexible can be accomplished through software implementation called software-defined radio concept known as SDR.
This chapter demonstrates the significance of using the RFID tag for communication purpose. The radio waves from the reader are identified by several tags which are associated in the reader range. When there are multiple tags, every tag must have a unique product code for easy identification and security purposes. Every product code must be protected to avoid collision of tags in this RFID system. The generated tag sequences can be authenticated and more feasible for identification purpose.
We proposed a method to analyse the backscattered signal of radio frequency identification (RFID) system in which it uses the radio frequency range in LF, HF and UHF (125 KHz, 13.5 MHz and 930 MHz). In this chapter, we established a communication between the reader and the tag by transmitting the EPC in RFID frequency range according to the C1G2 protocol standard. To perform signal processing for the RFID system, we processed the signals in a simulation platform GNU radio companion software.
In this chapter, various modulation and demodulation schemes are discussed in detail using the Electronic Product Code (EPC) sequence with a suitable modulation schemes implemented in the GNU radio, which is a highly flexible and adaptive SDR platform. This chapter explains the concept from scratch, which is more useful for beginners and researchers working on RFID. We transmitted a random sequence using various modulation schemes and chose the suitable one with less BER and high SNR ratio. It is also transmitted over the AWGN channel model to analyse the differences in the received power. Thus, the power is analysed for UHF range of RFID frequencies.
