Patch Antenna Miniaturization Through Electromagnetic Genetic Algorithm Optimization
3/7/2007
By Naftali Herscovici, MIT - Lincoln Labs, James Ginn, UCF, and Tony Donisi and David Vye, Ansoft Corporation
Genetic algorithm optimization is well suited to working with existing electromagnetic simulation technologies, often yielding results that achieve the performance targets with a unique structure that is non-intuitive to the antenna designer. In this article, a genetic algorithm script is utilized in conjunction with a planar electromagnetic simulator to perform novel pattern synthesis of a patch antenna... -
Production Scale — UHF Passive RFID Is A Reality Today By Peter Blair, Reva Systems
2/8/2007
Over the past several years much has been written about the promise and potential of UHF passive radio frequency identification and in some circles the hype has bordered on nonsensical. If you have been skeptical about this technology, you are in good company. The misplaced idea that RFID was simply bar code replacement, the expensive price points for tags and readers, and the generally poor performance of most first generation solutions have all limited UHF passive RFID implementations to uniquely interesting pilots and proof-of-concepts. Or have they? Submitted by Reva Systems
