Abstract

This work presents a method for enhanced wireless power transfer using an algorithm to calculate the optimum phases of multiple transmitting antennas in a passive UHF RFID system. The algorithm performs the calculation based on measured backscatter phase value of individual antenna port and the phase rotation caused by each port’s receiving channel. Through experimental validations, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can achieve up to 18 dB improvement in the tag RSSI using three transmitting antennas. The proposed algorithm could be used in the next generation sensor tags to optimise power delivery efficiency.
