Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

The research effort described here was a study of factors that affect the efficiency of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system in reading a certain type of commonly used passive RFID tag ('Squiggle' by Alien Technologies). The two sets of experiments conducted under this study focus on two response variables namely: readability and read rate. The factors in focus are distance between antenna and tags, the number and combinations of tags simultaneously read by the system and position of the tags left or right of the center of the antenna. Two separate experimental setups as explained in the following sections …
