Popis: An active read/write microwave tagging system using circular-polarization modulation as a novel modulation scheme for radio-frequency identification systems is presented. The proposed modulation scheme reduces demodulation complexity and power consumption on the battery-powered tag. Additional coding of the circular-polarization modulated data reduces transmission errors due to polarization inversion at multipath propagation. In multiple-reader environments, the main jamming threat occurs from power carriers of different interrogators. A combination of circular-polarization modulation and frequency hopping is presented that shows an increased immunity against multipath phenomena for multiple-tag and multiple-reader environments.
