Description

It is well known that the interior air frame makes for a complex RF environment. This is due to the resonant electromagnetic cavity nature of the air frame interior, which is a result of a large internal volume and conductive boundaries. This complex interior presents a challenge in determining optimal placement of RFID tags. We propose to develop a physics based computational tool for optimizing RFID tag placement in complex rotocraft environments that takes into account the statistical nature of the rotorcraft environment. The tool will also include RF system models for the tags and readers in order to provide a simulation of the compelete RFID system and environment.
