For all the good it does, technology often fails us in big ways

Technology has improved our world in so many ways. When they work, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings with audible cues for those with visual impairments are but one example of the many simple successes of societal automation. But attempts to underpin society with technology have failed...

The Impact of Emerging RFID Technology in the Wirefree Environment for Automatic Identification, Data Collection and Dedicated Short Range Communication

Radio Frequency Identification is a Dedicated Short Range Communication DSRC technology. With RFID, the electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the RF radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to transmit signals. An RFID system consists of an antenna and transceiver, which read the radio frequency and transfer the...

Design Methods for 3D RFID Antennas Located on a Conducting Ground Plane

Radio Frequency Identification RFID is an emerging technology for remotely identifying assets and controlling devices via a wireless link. A typical RFID transponder tag consists of an antenna and an integrated circuit chip which stores an identification number and other information. The passive RFID tags are usually the least expensive...

Towards a Transponder for Serial 100 Gigabit Ethernet Using a Novel Optical SERDES

Video, data-center and mobile backhaul traffic promises to dominate much of metro traffic in the near future causing speculation for bandwidth exhaustion in the C-band. This has led to motivations for 100 Gbps per wavelength proposals especially in the Ethernet space. The 100 Gbps Ethernet GE proposals are currently being...

Satellite Antenna Alignment 2.50.0 (Windows)

The program "Satellite Antenna Alignment" is used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. The main difference from similar software is the possibility to calculate the position for all satellites at once. Thus, you get a clear picture about what satellites can be physically visible from the location...

Patch Antenna Based on Metamaterials for a RFID Transponder

In this paper a self-diplexed antenna is proposed for a RFID transponder application. The development cycle is divided into two stages: antenna design and filters design. The antenna is based on a square microstrip patch filled with metamaterial structures. The inclusion of these structures allows simultaneous operation over several frequencies,...
