Master Thesis - - An Evaluation of RFID Systems
My
thesis, “An evaluation of RFID systems: An explorative analysis
of interaction effects on RFID Systems” was successfully
defended in December 2007. As I wrote in my abstract:
The
goal of this study was to investigate the effects of common factors
in RFID applications, as well as their interaction effects, to aid
engineers in making informed RFID decisions. This RFID system
performance evaluation study demonstrates a procedure for designing
and implementing RFID systems. The study describes a step by step
procedure to illustrate an industrial study in order to bridge the
gap between an experimental study and engineering application. A
design of the experiment methodology using a factorial design was
shown in this study to address the problems of incomplete planning
and preparation by experimenters. Three scenarios are analyzed for
main and interaction effects using analysis of variance (ANOVA)
tests. To that end, the system configuration and its effects on read
rates are interpreted and evaluated to multiple variables
experiments.
The
thesis, as well as the powerpoint I used to present it, are available
upon request.
