Abstract
A new RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) bike race tracking system is designed, built and tested providing reduced system complexity and enhanced rider tracking capability. This system is build upon two commodity passive RFID components, a UHF reader and associated UHF item-level tags, plus novel RFID reader antennas developed at The Ohio State University. The uniform energy distribution property built into the novel RFID antennas enables easy-to-design coverage and superior fading control with a minimum number of antennas. This thesis shows how these three components are optimally deployed to create a unique and cost effective bike race tracking system.
