Week 2

Week2: We identify the most important components of the RFID reader and the physics behind them. These components consist of an antenna coil inductance and a capacitor which can produce the frequency that we need.  The equation that allows us to find the frequency is  Where L is the inductance and C is the capacitance. When a current flows around the inductance, it generates an electromagnetic field that communicates with a tag by an antenna coil inductance of that tag. When electromagnetic field enter the tag, it will induce a current that flow around the antenna coil and power the integrator circuit to get identity information, and transmitted back to the reader which is called ‘backscattering process’ .  Our goal for this week is continuing to find out other components that can connect with these two components in order to have a full schematic of the RFID reader.
