“…Since the complex impedance of the antenna varies with the environmental conditions, it is very important to precisely designate material properties of the substrate to which it is attached [45,46]. The relative permittivity ε r and dielectric loss tgδ are the most important parameters that have to be determined for materials that are used in the PV panel constructions and that can potentially form the substrate of the transponders.…”

The importance of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and photovoltaic (PV) systems has been growing systematically in the modern world full of intelligent products connected to the Internet. Monitoring parameters of green energy plants is a crucial issue for efficient conversion of solar radiation, and cheap RFID transponders/sensors can be involved in this process to provide better performance of module supervision in scattered installations. Since many components of PV panels disturb the radio-wave propagation, research in the antenna scope has to be carried out to reach the proposed fusion. The problem with RFID transponders being detuned in close proximity to glass or metal surfaces can be solved on the basis of solutions known from the scientific literature. The authors went further, revealing a new antenna construction that can be fabricated straight on a cover glass of the PV panels. To achieve the established task, they incorporated advantages from the latest advancements in materials technology and low-power electronics and from the progress in understanding radio-wave propagation phenomena. The numerical model of the antenna was elaborated in the Hyper Lynx 3D EM software environment, and test samples were fabricated on the technology line of ML System Company. The convergence of calculated and measured antenna parameters confirms the design correctness. Thus, the studied antenna can be used to elaborate the cheap semipassive RFID transponders/sensors in the PV panel production lines.

“…Indeed, multiple experiments have shown how RFID could be a better alternative for IoT applications thanks to its communication perquisites compared to traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) solutions. As such, several applications can be found with RFID being evaluated in challenging environments such as embedded in concrete [3], disposed in water [5], buried underground [2] or attached to metallic materials [18]. However, most of these works fail to discuss one of the concerns of using RFID which is collisions.…”

In the midst of Internet of Things development, a first requirement was tracking and identification of those mentioned "things which could be done thanks to Radio Frequency Identification. However, since then, the development of RFID allowed a new range of applications among which is remote sensing of environmental values. While RFID can be seen as a more efficient solution than traditional Wireless Sensor Networks, two main issues remain: first reading collisions and second proficient data gathering solution. In this paper, we examine the implementation of two applications: for industrial IoT and for smart cities, respectively. Both applications, in regards to their requirements and configuration, challenge the operation of a RFID sensing solution combined with a dynamic wireless data gathering over multihops. They require the use of both mobile and fixed readers to cover the extent of deployment area and a quick retrieval of tag information. We propose a distributed crosslayer solution for improving the efficiency of the RFID system in terms of collision and throughput but also its proficiency in terms of tag information routing towards one or multiple sinks. Simulation results show that we can achieve high level of throughput while maintaining a low level of collision and a fairness of reader medium access above 95% in situations where readers can be fix and mobile, while tag information is routed with a data rate of ≈ 97% at worst and reliable delays for considered applications.

A new compact artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) based coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna is presented for RFID applications. The antenna is designed with hexagonal ring and patch elements. The proposed AMC with an electrical size of 0.02 λ0 is designed as a reflector for a monopole antenna which improves the antenna gain from 2 to 6.7 dBi. The monopole antenna is designed using cascaded hexagonal patch and ring elements. The simulated and experimental performance of the proposed antenna are presented in terms of return loss, gain and radiation patterns, with and without the presence of AMC. The performance of the antenna is evaluated at 868 MHz (European RFID Band). The obtained results exhibit good agreement. The proposed antenna provides compactness, cost efficiency, higher gain, and higher radiation efficiency (at 868 MHz).
