Electromagnetic Design Techniques Enabling Control of the RFID Supply Chain

Abstract

This report summarizes progress in the SBIR Phase I project "Electromagnetic Design Techniques Enabling Control of the RFID Supply Chain". During this project Wavelet Technologies, Inc. (WTI) has extended its genetic optimization program to include a variety of additional antenna geometries, worked out means for translating antenna designs to a form suitable for prototype fabrication, acquired RFID chips sufficient to demonstrate component independence, produced and tested genetically optimized RFID tag designs, obtained equipment and made modifications to its laboratory for prototype tag fabrication, and constructed software for Monte Carlo studies of its business case model. The following section describes the status of each of the Phase I tasks in turn. For tasks in which technical work was completed in earlier reporting periods, the reader will be referred to the appropriate reports for the detailed technical descriptions of the work accomplished under that task.
