UHF RFID Channel Emulation Testbed for Wireless IoT Systems

We propose an ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID, 902-928 MHz in the US) channel emulation testbed that is capable of simultaneously emulating unique wireless channels. The proposed system can potentially be an invaluable tool in the design and validation of RFID-based I...

Description
Summary:We propose an ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID, 902-928 MHz in the US) channel emulation testbed that is capable of simultaneously emulating unique wireless channels. The proposed system can potentially be an invaluable tool in the design and validation of RFID-based Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and systems. Emulation of ray-tracing-based wireless channels enables the evaluation of inherently difficult and complex radio frequency (RF) scenarios, particularly in situations when in-person experimentation is not feasible or desirable ( e.g., during a pandemic or in a critical care facility). Furthermore, the emulation testbed is able to generate a large amount of sensor data in a limited time period. Machine learning techniques used in wireless IoT can be greatly enhanced by a large amount of data extracted from the emulation of dynamic and challenging environments. The proposed multi-channel emulation testbed is therefore a valuable solution for experimentation on real hardware and a convenient tool for pre-clinical-trial system validation.
