    • Blocking Reader: Design And Implementation Of A Low-cost Passive UHF RFID Blocking Reader 

      Narayanaswamy, Gaurov (Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
      In this thesis I present a low-cost passive UHF ISO 18000-6C RadioFrequency Identification, or RFID, reader that is feasible for mobileand privacy applications. Low cost readers are necessary to achievethe promised cost ...

    • Characterization Of RF Propagation In Metal Pipes For Passive RFID Systems 

      Arumugam, Darmindra Danaraj (Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
      In this paper we collect and extend the theory of radio frequency (RF) propagation as it relates to propagation within metal cylinders, or circular pipes. This work is motivated by a need to understand the operation of UHF ...

    • Convert UHF RFID Tag From Passive To Semi-passive Tag Using External Power Sources 

      Mehta, Tanvi (Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
      In this thesis, I present novel circuit designs that convert a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag into a semi-passive RFID tag. Passive RFID tags are relatively inexpensive to purchase and to integrate into ...

    • Evaluation Of ISO 18000-6 Type C Class 1 Generation 2 RFID Protocol Artifacts 

      Ayer, Nikhil (Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
      In this thesis, we have identified the effect on the performance of the RFID system when ISO 18000-6 Class 1 Gen 2 RFID protocol's parameters are changed. The protocol parameters we considered changing for the conformance ...

    • Implementation Of Security Within GEN2 Protocol 

      Jagannatha, Shesh Kumar (Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
      In this thesis, I propose and evaluate several methods to integrate security within the identification process and memory access processes of the ISO 18000-6C (or GEN2) passive UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) ...

    • Physics Behind RFID Smart Card Security In Context Of Privacy 

      Chopra, Kirti (Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
      In this thesis I prove that existing HF protocol is not secure. Lack of security in turn leads to violation of privacy.The unique ID on the HF RFID smart card can be sniffed by any eavesdropper. Not only eavesdropping, but ...

    • Practical Evaluation and Analysis Of Passive UHF RFID Tags 

      Gautham, Ananyaa (Electrical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
      In this thesis, we have identified the important parameters that impact the performance of passive UHF RFID tags and developed a testing methodology to evaluate and characterize tags. We have also developed the theory to ...

    • Theia: Radio Frequency Identification Performance Analysis Tool 

      Pereira, Jason Francis (Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
      In recent years there has been an increase in the adoption of Radio FrequencyIdentication or RFID systems for most applications that deal with investment (products/people) tracking. The ideal requirements of investment ...
