Phase 2
Objective:
The first objective of
this project is to develop and demonstrate complete single-chip passive UHF
RFID readers and tags by integrating all the enabling technologies developed in
the previous ITF project under the Guangdong
- Hong Kong Technology Cooperation Funding Scheme (GHS/086/04). The second
objective is to further develop enabling technologies for the next generation
of RFID tags and readers with advanced features. For the RFID tags, focus will
be on lower cost, smaller chip area, higher efficiency and thus longer
communication distance, higher data rate, insensitivity to backing materials,
rewritable memory, and embedded temperature sensor. For the RFID readers, both
the transceiver and the baseband will be fully integrated for a system-on-chip
for low power and small chip area and low cost, and at the same time,
short-distance wireless capacity (Bluetooth and WLAN) will also be included.
