INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been increasingly adopted in various industries due to its ability to improve supply chain management, inventory tracking, and asset management. However, RFID systems are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can cause communication errors, signal degradation, and ultimately impact their reliability and effectiveness. This paper investigates the effects of EMI on RFID systems and proposes possible solutions to mitigate its impact. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, experimental analysis, and simulation studies. This research contributes to the understanding of the impact of EMI on RFID systems and proposes solutions to mitigate its effects. The research findings can help RFID system designers and users to develop more reliable and robust systems that can withstand EMI in various environments. Simulation studies are conducted using electromagnetic simulation software to investigate the behavior of EMI on RFID systems. The simulation studies include modeling the RFID system and the EMI source, analyzing the system's response to different EMI levels and frequencies, and proposing mitigation techniques to improve system performance.
