Abstract

We have studied on the possibility of railway stability system using RFID tag. UHF RFID tag was desinged, manufactured and tested. Proposed UHF tag antenna has PIFA type structure and inset feed multi matching technique was attempted for impedance matching of antenna. The impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 3) of the proposed tag antenna covers 917~923 MHz. Measured peak gain is 3.225 dBi and UHF band with an omni-directional radiation pattern. RFID reader and tag installed in motor car and track, respectively. Then, tag recognition rate according to velocity of car (under 45 km/h) represented 100 %.

본 논문에서는 RFID 태그를 설계하여 철도 안정화 시스템으로의 적용 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. UHF 대역에서 동작하는 태그를 설계 제작, 현장 테스트를 진행하였다. 제안된 UHF 대역 태그 안테나는 PIFA형 안테나 구조를 가지며 인셋 급전 다중 정합기술로 주파수와 임피던스 정합을 시도하였다. 제안된 안테나는 UHF 대역인 917~923 MHz에서 VSWR 3:1 이하의 주파수 특성을 나타내었으며, 또한 전방향적인 방사패턴(Omni-directional radiation pattern)을 가진다. 917~923 MHz의 동작주파수에서 안테나의 최대 이득은 3.225 dBi 이었다. 모터카에 RFID 리더를 거취하고 선로에 태그를 설치한 후, 속도에 따른 태그 인식률을 테스트한 결과 45 km/h 이하의 속도에서 100 %의 인식률을 나타내었다.
