RFID Tag Antenna Research Methodology by Mr Nigel Ooi
Date Jul 26, 2021
Time: 5.15pm-6.15pm
Participants: Open to all TARUC staff and students.
Summary of sharing: Radio frequency identification (RFID) has variously been described as a key technology enabler for the IoT. It stands to reason that the RFID allows computer systems to identify things, it enables applications to become “thing aware”. One of the latest applications is the use of RFID tags as sensors to gather relevant data about the environments smart objects are placed in. In view of the importance of the technology, We have invited one of our postgraduates (Mr. Nigel Ooi Ji Wei) to share his experience in RFID Technology research. The speaker will first provide the overview of the current RFID technology, and then introduce the limitations and challenges of the technology. The details of the RFID tag antenna research methodology will be discussed in the later section.
