1 Hardware Design and Deployment Issues in UHF RFID Systems Byung-Jun Jang Kookmin University, Seoul Korea 1. Introduction Recently, radio frequency identification (RFID) have created emerging applications for tracking, sensing, and identifying various targets in wide-ranging areas such as supply chain, transportation, airline baggage handling, medical and biological industry, and homeland security. RFID systems with a variety of radio frequencies and techniques have been introduced. Among them, ultra-high frequency (UHF) band passive RFID systems that operate in the 860 – 960MHz band have drawn a great deal of attention because of its numerous benefits, such as cost, size, and increased interrogation range. In particular, the interrogation range of the UHF RFID system is comparatively large, due to the use of a travelling electromagnetic (EM) wave to transfer power and data. The increased interrogation range makes it possible for UHF RFID systems to revolutionize commercial processes, such as supply chain management. Several major supply chain companies such as Wal-Mart and Tesco plan to mandate the use of an UHF RFID system in their supply chains (Finkenzeller, 2003). UHF band passive RFID system based on modulated backscatter has a unique characteristic, quite distinct from those encountered in most other rad
