RFID at Ultra and Super High Frequencies: Theory and application - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dominique Paret is currently the Technical Support Manager at Philips Semiconductors, France. He has worked at Philips for the past 15 years, on the areas of automotive electronics (CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network), very high speed buses, time triggered concept – FlexRay, Safe by Wire, SBC (Single-board Computer), fail safe systems) and identification, including smart cards, and RFID (radio frequency identification). He also has the role of representing Philips in several standardization organizations such as the French National Body (AFNOR), ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working groups for radio frequency identification and other consortiums for electronic automotive standards. In addition to this, he lectures for several technical schools in France and Pretoria, South Africa, and is an experienced author, having written a number of books, including RFID and Contactless Smart Card Applications (Wiley 2005, originally in French), 12C Bus: From Theory to Practice (Wiley, 1997; originally in French), and the French version of RFID à UHF and SHF, Identification et Tracabilité en UHF-SHF RFID de Super-hautes Fréquences (Dunod, 2005).

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the past, very little practical information or training has been available for engineers, technicians and students in the area of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems at ultra high frequencies (UHF) and super high frequencies (SHF).

Here, Dominique Paret offers you a complete guide to the theory, components, practical application areas and standards in RFID at UHF and SHF. He achieves an expert balance between theory and technology, finance and other aspects, providing a clear view of the entire field.

This book deals with the real aspects of contactless applications in detail, and divided into five parts, covers:

• Basic principles, general considerations and the market, defining all essential terms and the different tags and applications.
• Wave propagation principles and theory.
• Communication and transmission, baseband signals, carrier modulation and interactions, discussing communication modes between the base station and tag, and energy transfer modes.

• International safety standards and regulations, including International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) models, and methods for evaluating commercial tags.
• Components for tags and base stations.

This comprehensive reference is ideal for computer and electronics engineers working on the design and development of RFID systems for the electronics industry, as well as for those in other industries such as automotive, security and transport, who want to implement RFID into their business.

Dominique Paret’s book is also a solid and thorough technical introduction to the subject for graduate level students and researchers in electronics and industrial engineering design.
