Abstract

Even though narrowband RFID systems are currently quite mature and effective in many applications, the limitations posed by narrowband signal characteristics (discussed in Chap. 2) makes them somewhat unreliable for use in certain practical environments [1].

(This limit applies to UWB transmissions in Europe (ETSI), Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc.)

(Energy detector receivers calculate the signal energy by squaring the received signal. If the detected energy passes a predefined threshold level, the data is demodulated as a digital bit “1”. If the data is not present or its energy does not pass the threshold level, the received data will be demodulated as “0”.)
 
8
(Template matching techniques correlate the received signal, comprising of the transmitted signal and channel noise, with a pre-defined template (similar to the transmitted signal) to maximize the received signal’s SNR and detects the desired signal from the background random noise.)

(A discussion with the vendor about range limitation revealed that in our experiments we used the mid-gain antenna which is one of the three antennas offered with Sapphire DART receivers. According to the vendors engineering team, with additional training on antenna planning, distances can improve the performance on a case by case basis.)
 
14
(According to the vendor “Tag to receiver line of sight ensures the most accurate TDOA position calculation so any condition that limits this physical configuration will degrade the accuracy of the position calculation but inaccurate coordinate data for the receiver infrastructure and reference tag may contribute as well”.)
