Modeling of load effects of passive and active RFID systems at 13.56MHz on broadband and ultra-broadband communication channels and development of innovative techniques for multi-environment emulation and interoperability on a directly coupled characterization bench
Abstract To study the state of the art of each of the characterization and qualification methods for the two main categories of RFID products which are the passive remote-powered elements (RFID cards type) and the powered products, passive and/or active such as NFC products.To develop a method or a generic model allowing to integrate the characteristics of these [...]
Characterization of biometric parameters detectable by a non-invasive millimeter wave radar technology - frequency modulated, continuous wave.
Abstract The context of this thesis is the use of FMCW radar in the millimeter range for bio-medical applications. The use of these radars in newly standardized frequency ranges allows to follow physiological constants such as the heartbeat in a non-invasive way. The targeted applications are in telemedicine, health maintenance, and other fields of application [...].
