RFID Reader Antenna Beam Angle Optimization using Genetic Algorithm
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been successfully used in various industries like production facilities and supply chain management, to name a few. Read accuracy and coverage achieved by readers are some of the critical factors to be considered in the adoption of any RFID system. For passive tags, these parameters depend not only on the volume of region that receives sufficient power from the reader but also on the relative orientation of reader and tag antennas as well as their polarization. In this work, the authors used Genetic Algorithm to optimize the directional antenna beam direction including down tilt to maximize the reader coverage and accuracy. This work can be used as an effective tool in warehouse management and logistics.
