RF Tags for Personnel Identification (298)
Problem: Provide Radio Frequency (RF) Identification tag system with capability read and store personal data onto an RF tag
Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Circuits and Devices through Integrated Systems
PNNL Solution:
- Developed "dog tag" sized RF tags (passive and semi-passive) with read/write memory capable of storing relevant data
- Developed battery powered reader capable of reading the data from the tag and updating the data contained on the tag
- Successfully demonstrated
Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: Radio frequency (RF) field theory for antenna design and field propagation; information theory for evaluation of read/write distance effects on data transfer rates; analog and digital electronics design; surface mount electronics development; prototype RF tag design, fabrication, and evaluation; lab testing; test planning and analysis; documentation of technical basis and results.
