Technical Field

The invention belongs to a UHF RFID direction in the field of Internet of things, and belongs to a novel UHF RFID tag distance measuring technology.

Background

With the development of the internet and artificial intelligence, the application of the internet of things is popularized in a large scale. The UHF RFID system has the advantages of passive tags, no need of later maintenance, low tag cost, convenience for large-scale deployment, remote reading and writing and the like, and is considered to be an Internet of things access technology with high application value. Under the ideal condition, on the internet of things, each real object can be accessed into the internet of things by using the UHF RFID tag. At present, UHF RFID systems in the fields of warehousing and logistics are widely applied, the read-write function of UHF RFID tags is mature, but the problem of tag positioning is not effectively solved, and a large amount of research is needed. At present, the positioning method based on ranging is relatively more and is applied to a plurality of systems, such as GPS, Beidou and other satellite navigation systems.

The basis of UHF RFID tag location is to measure the distance from the tag to the reader antenna. The UHF RFID system is characterized in that the label works in a backscattering mode, and the reader is integrated with the reader in a transmitting and receiving mode, namely the reader has the functions of transmitting signals and receiving backscattering signals of UHFRFID labels at the same time. When the UHF RFID tag works, a reader needs to emit a single-frequency continuous wave signal to activate the UHF RFID tag, the tag realizes the backscattering of the signal by adjusting the matching of the antenna, and the internal information of the tag is modulated onto the continuous wave and reflected to the reader end. The reader can thus measure the carrier phase of the transmitted signal and the carrier phase difference of the received signal. The phase difference changes with the change of the distance of the tag, so that the UHF RFID tag can be subjected to ranging by using a phase difference method.

Detailed Description

To further illustrate the present invention, a specific example is given below in conjunction with fig. 1 and 2. The present example is intended to illustrate only one embodiment of the invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

A UHF RFID tag ranging system is shown in fig. 2. The system mainly comprises a UHF RFID reader, a reader antenna and a UHF RFID label. The UHF RFID reader and the antenna are connected using a radio frequency cable. The UHF RFID reader and the label working protocol are used together, and can perform read-write operation. The tag needs to be placed within a range that can be recognized by the reader. In order to simplify the scenario, the present embodiment only includes one UHF RFID reader, one reader antenna, and one UHF RFID tag. The UHF RFID reader can send signals of multiple frequencies, and due to the hardware structure integrating receiving and sending, the UHF RFID reader can acquire the phase difference between the transmitted signals and the received label backscatter signals. Multi-frequency ranging can be performed by using phase differences of a plurality of frequency signals, and a distance between a tag and a reader is calculated.

The specific multi-frequency carrier phase difference ranging process is described as follows:

the method comprises the following steps: before starting the multi-frequency ranging process, the frequency set { f used needs to be set₁,...,f_nWhich contains n frequencies. These frequencies need to be within the protocol specified UHFRFID operating band.

Step two: and switching the working frequency to a first frequency point in the frequency set by the UHFRFID according to the set frequency set, and reading the UHFRFID label by using the frequency.

Step three: the UHFRFID reader measures the phase difference between the tag backscatter signal and the reader transmit signal and stores the phase difference and the current reader operating frequency.

Step four: and judging whether all the frequencies in the frequency set are used for phase difference measurement, if the phase differences of all the frequencies are measured, trying the next step, otherwise, switching the working frequency of the reader, reading the UHF RFID label again, and then, executing the step three to measure the phase difference.

Step five: two different frequencies are taken out from the n frequencies in the frequency set, the corresponding measured phase difference of the two frequencies is taken out at the same time, and the distance measured based on the two frequencies is calculated by using the formula (1).

Step six: and judging whether the measurement distances corresponding to all the n (n-1)/2 frequency combinations are completely calculated, if so, executing the next step, otherwise, executing the fifth step, and continuing to calculate the two frequencies and the corresponding phase difference.

Step seven: and (3) calculating a multi-frequency ranging result by using the formula (2) based on the measuring distances corresponding to all the n (n-1)/2 frequency combinations.

Step eight: and subtracting the propagation length of the system signal in the system from the result calculated in the step seven to obtain the final multi-frequency carrier phase difference ranging result.
