應用於RFID系統之讀碼天線多工切換模組研製

本論文提出一組可應用於RFID無線射頻身分識別系統(Radio Frequency IDentification System)讀卡機端(Reader End)的天線模組與匹配控制電路。Reader與其配套軟體為資策會購於Alien公司的ALR-9780 High Performance, 4-port UHF Reader與Tag來搭配。由於Reader與其天線價格昂貴，且僅具有四個port，再加上輸出功率固定，因此本論文將提出四個模組來改良該RFID系統。首先針對915 MHz射頻辨識系統讀碼天線進行分析與設計，期望能夠以更低成本、更小體積來取代Alien公司所生產之Reader端收發天線。其中包含了圓形極化天線設計，並比較各種不同基材材料對天線增益的影響。最後嘗試加入碎形之設計概念，並比較碎行程度對天線頻譜與增益的影響。接下來針對多工切換模組與功率控制模組進行分析與研製，目的在於設計一組數位邏輯控制電路，用來控制與切換不同的SPDT開關進而選擇多組天線的使用，並透過可調衰減器調控天線輻射功率。最後由單晶片網路伺服控制器(PIC_SERVER)完成整個系統之遠端連結，並開發一控制介面程式，安裝於近端電腦中。期望此設計概念能夠讓原RFID系統之性能更符合實際使用需求。

This thesis presents an antenna module and a digital logic circuit for applying to the Reader of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) System. The ALR-9780 Reader, software and tags produced by Alien Company are from III (Institute For Information Industry). Due to the high cost of the 4-port Reader and its antenna, as well as its limited transmission power, we therefore bring up four modules to improve the original system. Firstly, we investigate the design of 915 MHz RFID Reader Antenna, expecting to transform the Alien’s Reader Antenna into smaller volume and lower cost. It contains the design of circular polarization and finds out the correlation between antenna gain and different substrate materials. Finally, we provide a new concept of fractal, and find the correlation about antenna gain, antenna spectrum and the space-filling properties of the fractal geometry. Secondly, we investigate a multiplex-switching module and power controller module in order to devise a digital logic circuit to control the SPDT switches and choose any antenna, and then tune the radiation power by using an adjustable attenuator. Finally, the remote connecting system is achieved by the use of the PIC_Server, and a PC-based control interface has also been developed. We expect these concepts can thoroughly improve the performance of the original RFID system to meet desired requirement actually.
