Analysis & Design of Active RFID Tag

Abstract

The Active Radio Frequency Identification tag that is RFID tag with battery is promising solution for low power consumption and precise localization in indoor as well as for outdoor environment. In this paper, Design and Implementation of an Active RFID tag is proposed with capability of far reading distance, high reliability, low cost, low power consumption and long life. The Active RFID tag is a transmitter designed using the AVR ATmega16 microcontroller and wireless data transmission chip CC2500. The objective of tag is achieved by optimization of the circuit design for continuous Tag ID transmission of each Tag has its unique ID. The transmitted Tag ID is captured by receiver referred as RFID reader, the hardware and software implementation are presented in this paper with measurement in a typical indoor environment.
