Description

Method for measuring strength of backscatter signal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of Internet of things and backscatter communication, in particular to a method for measuring the strength of a backscatter signal.
Background
Backscattering (Backscatter) refers to reflecting a wave or signal back from an incident direction. The backscattering technique has a wide and mature application in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and radar systems.
A Reader-writer (Reader) in the radio frequency identification system utilizes a backscattering technology to perform information interaction with a Tag (Tag) in a radio frequency signal space coupling mode, so that non-contact information identification is realized. The method is widely applied to the fields of non-contact identification cards, electronic toll collection systems, identity identification, access control systems, warehouse management and the like.
Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID systems have received much attention due to the advantages of long read/write distances and high identification speeds. The structure of the UHF RFID system is shown in figure 1 and mainly comprises a reader-writer, an antenna and a label. The reader-writer is the core of the system and continuously sends continuous Carrier (CW) signals to provide energy for the label; the CW signal is radiated into a free space through an antenna; the Tag receives the CW signal sent by the Reader and backscatters the CW signal to transmit the signal to the Reader (the Tag signal reflects CW for "1", and the Tag signal does not reflect CW for "0"). This means that the Reader receives the signal from the Tag and simultaneously transmits the CW signal through its own TX port, which will couple to the RX port as a self-interference signal, which causes severe interference to the useful signal received by the RX port, thereby affecting the receiving sensitivity of the Reader.
In general, the Tag backscattered useful signal is much smaller than the self-interference signal due to free-space propagation loss. The relation between the distance between the Tag and the Reader and the signal power returned by the Reader receiving the Tag is obtained through simulation in the document [1], and if the isolation of the circulator is 30dB and the power of a CW signal transmitted by the Reader is 33dBm, the power of a self-interference signal coupled to an RX port is 3dBm, and when the distance is 1.6m-40m, the power of the signal returned by the Reader receiving the Tag is smaller than-45 dBm. In this case, the self-interference signal power is 48dB stronger than the useful signal power.
The Reader converts an analog signal into a digital signal generally through four steps: sampling, holding, quantizing, and encoding are typically performed by Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC) chips. The commonly used ADCs have 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, 14 bits and 16 bits, and the higher the accuracy of the ADCs is, the resources inside the device are greatly increased, the cost and price of the device are also greatly increased, and the price of the 12 bits ADCs is twice higher than that of the 10 bits ADCs under the condition of the same sampling rate. Generally, the number of bits of the ADC is doubled by the price of two bits. Therefore, the Reader ADC is selected to integrate factors such as precision and price, and taking a 14-bit ideal ADC as an example, the dynamic range of a signal to be resolved is 42dB. This also means that for the ADC to quantize the Tag backscattered signal, it should be ensured that the ratio of the amplitude of the self-interference signal to the useful signal is less than 42dB, and the smaller the ratio of the amplitudes of the two is, the more beneficial the ADC quantization. Obviously, the strength of the Tag useful signal is accurately measured, and the performance of the UHF RFID reader-writer is favorably analyzed.
However, the signal received at the Reader RX port is an alias of the self-interference signal and the Tag backscattered signal, and the Tag backscattered useful signal is much smaller than the self-interference signal, so that the Tag backscattered signal strength cannot be directly measured. The method can meet the measurement of the strength of the UHF RFID label backscatter signal in different application scenes, has simple measurement method and has important significance for analyzing the performance of the UHF RFID reader-writer.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problem that the strength of a backscatter signal cannot be directly measured due to aliasing of a self-interference signal with large amplitude and a backscatter signal with small amplitude, the invention provides a measuring method which can effectively measure the strength (amplitude) of the backscatter signal.
In order to achieve the above purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:

The antenna receives the backscattering signal and enters the frequency spectrograph for measurement through ports 2 to 3 of the circulator. The waveform observed on the frequency spectrograph is a mixed power spectrum of the self-interference signal and the received tag useful signal from ports 1 to 3 of the circulator.
A backscatter signal strength measurement system may further comprise, as shown in fig. 5:
the system comprises a PC, a USRP, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, a frequency spectrograph and a label;

The radio frequency signal generated by the PC and the USRP is sent out through the sending antenna, the signal reflected by the label is received by the receiving antenna, and the signal is measured through the frequency spectrograph. The waveform observed on the spectrometer is a mixed power spectrum of the self-interference signal passing through d1 and the useful signal reflected by the tag.
The method for measuring the strength of the label backscatter signal by adopting the scheme comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: the reader-writer sends a continuous carrier signal to the label;

In this embodiment, the continuous carrier signal power emitted by the reader/writer is about 21.8dBm, the circulator isolation is about 22dB, and the tag generates a periodic square wave duty cycle of 1/2.
Specifically, in the third step, the power spectrum of the signal received by the reader/writer end is as shown in fig. 6, where ω is 0 The value at the angular frequency is the sum of the power of the tag backscatter signal and the self-interference signal, the ratio of the tag backscatter signal power at 1 and 2 is
Figure BDA0003296685510000091
The power value at the position 2 can be directly read by a frequency spectrograph, and the power value at the position 1 can be calculated, so that the amplitude value can be obtained.
In the measurement process, the distance between the tag and the antenna is changed, the power of a main peak and the power of other peaks measured by the frequency spectrograph are recorded, and a group of test results are shown in table 1, wherein N/A indicates that the power value is too small, and a signal is submerged in the bottom noise and corresponds to the zero position in the sinc function.
TABLE 1 Spectroscopy test results
Figure BDA0003296685510000101
The data in table 1 is analyzed according to the method, the power values of the first side lobe and the third side lobe are taken to calculate the power value of the main peak, the calculation results of the two times are averaged to obtain the calculation result shown in table 2, and meanwhile, the line graph of the amplitude ratio of the self-interference signal and the label backscatter signal is shown in fig. 7.
It can be seen that the farther the distance between the tag and the antenna is, the smaller the value of the power of the backscatter signal is, and the larger the ratio of the power and the amplitude of the self-interference signal to the backscatter signal is. When the distance exceeds 190cm, the side lobe in the actually measured frequency spectrum is submerged by the bottom noise, the value cannot be read continuously, the amplitude ratio of the self-interference signal to the backscattering signal is 29.6dB and still less than 42dB, and the backscattering signal can be judged.
