A Numerical Estimation of a RFID Reader Field and SAR inside a Blood Bag at UHF
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the effects of UHF electromagnetic fields produced by a RFID reader on a blood bag are evaluated numerically in several configurations. The results of the simulation, field level and distribution, specific absorption rate (SAR), and heating time show that an exposure to a typical reader field leads to a temperature increase smaller than 0.1 C and to a SAR smaller than 1 W/kg. As a consequence, no adverse biological effects occur during a typical UHF RFID reading cycle on a blood bag. Therefore, the blood contained in a bag traced using UHF-RFID is as safe as those traced using barcodes. The proposed analysis supports the use of UHF RFID in the blood transfusion supply chain.

Specific absorption rates in the human head and shoulder for passive UHF RFID systems
In this paper, we use a human head and shoulder model to extend the theory and analysis of specific absorption rates (SAR) in the human head due to radiation caused by passive radio frequency identification (RFID) reader systems. We use a finite-element method (FEM), and a human head and shoulder model with a voxel size of 8mm for the tetrahedral to analyze the peak one-voxel SAR, spatial-peak ...
متن کاملLS Channel Estimation and Signal Separation for UHF RFID Tag Collision Recovery on the Physical Layer
In a passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, tag collision is generally resolved on a medium access control (MAC) layer. However, some of collided tag signals could be recovered on a physical (PHY) layer and, thus, enhance the identification efficiency of the RFID system. For the recovery on the PHY layer, channel estimation is a critical issue. Good cha...

This paper investigates the problem of improving the identification performance of a UHF RFID system inside a room. We assume static reader, passive tags and availability of commodity antennas. A ray-tracing propagation model is developed that includes multipath in 3D space. It is found that careful selection of reader antenna placement and tilting must be performed to control destructive inter...

متن کاملUHF RFID Reader Antenna
This chapter addresses the various design issues, requirements, and specifications in designing reader antennas for UHF RFID applications. In a typical UHF system, the RFID reader antennas are geography specific; that is, there are different antennas for different geography, namely North America, Europe, et cetera. The discussion on the design challenges and performance expectations lead to a n...
