This course is on RFID tagging technologies and systems. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with all aspects of technology used in modern RFID systems, including near and far field varieties. The physics, design, data structures and control mechanisms for RFID systems are covered. Students will also be familiarized with associated standards, emerging business process models, applications, and social issues arising from the use of RFID.

This course is on RFID tagging technologies and systems. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with all aspects of technology used in modern RFID systems, including near and far field varieties. The physics, design, data structures and control mechanisms for RFID systems are covered. Students will also be familiarized with associated standards, emerging business process models, applications, and social issues arising from the use of RFID.
Students completing this course should have an understanding of the physics that underlie the most common RFID technologies, and to combine with the theory the ability to appropriately apply RFID as a solution in ICT system design. This includes matching the physical, electromagnetic and spatial properties of RFID systems to satisfy application needs. An appreciation for the social and personal aspects of RFID use is part of this. Specific areas of applied knowledge are:

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Grading scale: A/B/C/D/E/Fx/F
To get an "A" a student needs to achieve an aggregate score of at least 90% on all homework assignments and the course midterm. In addition, the student must complete the project component of the course and to write an outstanding or excellent paper and give an outstanding or excellent oral presentation. At least one of these needs to be excellent. To get a "B" a student needs to achieve an aggregate score of at least 80% on all homework assignments and the course midterm. In addition, the student must complete the project component of the course and to write a very good paper, for example it should be a very good review and present sound experimental data and or other results; and the student needs to give a very good oral presentation. To get a "C” a student needs to achieve an aggregate score of at least 70% on all homework assignments and the course midterm. In addition, the student must complete the project component of the course and to write a paper which shows understanding of the basic ideas underlying the IT topic being studied and applied. In addition, the student must be able to present the results of the project paper in a clear, concise, and professional manner. To get a "D" a student needs to achieve an aggregate score of at least 60% on all homework assignments and the course midterm. In addition, the student must have completed the project component of the course to at least a level sufficient to demonstrate an understanding of the basic ideas underlying the IT topic being studied, however, the depth of knowledge shown is shallow and the student is unable to orally answer questions on the topic of the project in depth. A grade of “F” will be given to students who only achieve an aggregate score of less than 60% on all homework assignments and the course midterm. In addition, the student must have failed to complete the project component of the course and cannot demonstrate any understanding of the basic ideas underlying the IT topic being studied. The written report is incomplete or has serious errors, and the student is unable answer basic questions on the topic the project.
