Abstract

This paper synthesizes protocol measurements for Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags’ performance. We introduce the main parameters allowing the evaluation of an inlay tag performances. We characterize all devices implemented on the test bench. We explain the different programs and all methods used for the software automation. Finally, we studied the variation of the measured parameters as a function of power, frequency, or tag orientation, both in free space and in disturbed environment through our automated test bench
