In January
2016, the
IEEE Council
on RFID (CRFID) was approved for its
first official Chapter, namely the "IEEE
Singapore Section Council on RFID Chapter".
IEEE CRFID Singapore chapter
organized
a kick-off seminar on 21th July
2016. This seminar shared the founding
story of the chapter. Two feature talks
were presented to demonstrate the
research progress in RFID antennas and
the challenges and opportunities faced
by the industry and academy in RFID
areas. There was a networking session
with refreshments after the talks.
Time/Date: 21 July 2016, Thursday 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Venue: Franklin room, South tower, Level 11, Fusionopolis
1 Fusionopolis Way, Connexis (South Tower)
Singapore 138632
 Lecture 1: Advanced Antennas for RFID Tags and Readers
Prof. Chen Zhi Ning
IEEE fellow
Chair of CRFID Singapore chapter
CRFID Distinguished Lecturer
Professor, National University of Singapore (NUS)
Abstract: Radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology are
being rapidly developed in recent years
and the applications have been widely
found in Internet of Things (IoT) such
as service industries, distribution
logistics, manufacturing companies, and
product-flow systems. Antenna design for
readers and tags is one of the key
factors in RFID systems. The optimized
tag and reader antenna design will
greatly benefit to RFID systems with
longer reading range, better detection
accuracy, lower fabrication cost, and
simple system configuration and
implementation. This talk will start
with a brief introduction to RFID
systems which may be active, passive, or
semi-active systems, and operate at LF,
HF, UHF, or MW bands. Then the key
considerations related to the antenna
design for tags and readers will be
addressed from system perspectives.
After that, the advancement of RFID
antenna designs by the team from
Institute for Infocomm
Research/Singapore National University
of Singapore will highlight specific
challenges for antennas in the HF
near-field and UHF near/far-field
systems. In particular, important
engineering factors such as
environmental effects vs. co-design
methodology, size constraints, cost
constraints, and UHF near-field reader
antenna coverage will be presented with
corresponding practical design cases.

 Lecture 2: RFID industry
Dr. LAU Pui Yi (Anna)
Senior IEEE member
Vice chair of CRFID Singapore chapter
Technical director of Invengo
Abstract: An ubiquitous icon in this
information era, radio frequency
identification (RFID) is a natural
extension of the bar-code system. From
industry point of view, what¡¯s the
future of RFID? Specially the adoption
of RFID system in the retail business
such as food chain, department stores,
libraries¡will be presented. How an IOT
smart platform can help in the
factory/manufacturing/ware
house/institution/laboratory? When our
mobile phone can be used as UHF RFID
reader? What¡¯s more? Let¡¯s meet and
share if you keen!
