Abstract
As the internet of things (IOT) develops, radio frequency identification (RFID), a key technology of IOT, is gaining more and more attention. In some manufacturing applications, such as the assembly line, the localization of the specific product is very important for the customized production. To improve the performance of the assembly line localization system, the method of using the phase of one RFID reader antenna is proposed. Note that the phase reflected by the tags is distance sensitive, which is able to locate the tags accurately. Through modeling analysis and experimental results on a motorized stage, it shows that the localization accuracy of using the phase reflected by the passive UHF RFID tags on the linear assembly line can meet the demand of the practical application.Keywords
