A UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) indoor positioning system based on phase difference is presented in this paper. An additional auxiliary tag and the target tag make up a double tag array to eliminate the phase ambiguity. To quantify the phase offset caused by the interference between tags, a mathematical model is built. Based on the double tag array and the interference model, a hyperbolic positioning algorithm, combining the genetic algorithm, is implemented to improve the positioning accuracy. Compared with other RFID positioning systems, the proposed system achieves a better positioning accuracy of 0.2217 m.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
