Abstract

Current RFID readers have a narrow operating bandwidth and not suitable for carrier-phase based RFID localization system requirements. To solve this problem, this paper designs a hardware circuit of the transceiver front-end of ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) system with wideband operating frequency range. The proposed front-end includes DDS module, transmission module and reception module. Benefiting from the fast switching frequency and wideband output frequency range of DDS, this system can achieve fast frequency hopping within a wide operating bandwidth, which satisfies the requirements of carrier-phase based localization. The results show that the whole hardware system can work correctly within the bandwidth of 700 MHz to 1 GHz, which can meet the design requirements of UHF RFID transceiver front-end.
