Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of RFID positioning, and aims to solve the problem of positioning a label by using a label phase and phase calibration technology obtained by a reader antenna moving along a known track.
Background
With the popularization of mobile internet and smart phones, Location Based Service (LBS) has gained wide attention, driving the development of various modern navigation and positioning technologies. The well-known outdoor positioning technology GPS cannot be applied to indoor positioning due to occlusion of buildings and the like. In recent years, many indoor positioning technologies based on wireless networks, such as WiFi positioning, bluetooth positioning, ZigBee positioning, RFID positioning, and the like, have appeared. The rapid development of the internet of things technology enables the RFID technology to be widely applied to positioning, tracking and backtracking of production, logistics, medicines and the like. In the aspect of indoor positioning, compared with other positioning methods, the RFID has the characteristics of low cost, high positioning accuracy, high identification speed, strong anti-interference performance and the like, and has the advantages of non-contact, non-line-of-sight and capability of identifying and tracking multiple targets simultaneously, so that the RFID gradually becomes the first choice for indoor positioning.
The wireless positioning technology of the RFID is mainly divided into two types: one is based on a non-ranging method, usually without a determined signal propagation model, a large number of reference tags are arranged in a positioning area in advance, the reference tags with similar positions are screened out after certain operation, and the final positioning coordinates are determined by using the reference tags; the other method is a distance measurement-based method, the distances between a person and a plurality of wireless point devices are determined according to a signal propagation model, and the position of the person is determined through geometric relation transformation. The method based on the distance measurement mainly comprises the following steps: the AOA (angle of arrival) method, the TOA (time of arrival) method, the TDOA (time Difference of arrival) method, and the RSSI (received Signal Strength indication) method. The RSSI positioning method estimates the received label by establishing a propagation model through signal strength and distance, has low power and low cost, does not need additional equipment function support, and is limited in positioning precision because signal energy information is influenced by various factors such as non-line-of-sight, multipath and the like besides distance factors in the propagation process. TOA and TDOA location methods compute distance primarily by measuring the time of flight of electromagnetic waves, which requires or requires precise reference times for clock synchronization of hardware facilities. The AOA positioning method mainly measures the arrival direction of the label signal through an antenna array of a reader, and the method needs the antenna array with special functions, so that the accuracy is limited by the performance of equipment, and the cost is relatively high.
In a scene that the tag and the reader move relatively, the synthetic aperture technology can form a virtual antenna array by using the relative movement between the antenna and the target, and the position of the target is determined by coherent superposition of a plurality of sampling phase values, so that the synthetic aperture technology has good anti-noise and multi-path interference capabilities, and can improve the positioning accuracy. And the method is suitable for unique dynamic application scenes such as handheld devices and the like, and does not need to additionally arrange a reference label and a time-consuming calibration stage. Meanwhile, the cost is relatively low, and the positioning can be realized only by commercial equipment.
Existing RFID location methods typically consider the antenna phase center to be constant. This is possible when the antenna and tag are stationary. However, in SARRFID, relative movement of the reader antenna and tag changes the angle of arrival of the signal, resulting in a change in the antenna phase center, which we call Phase Center Shift (PCS). The PCS will affect the observed phase and cause positioning errors. Therefore, the invention provides a positioning method based on RFID and phase calibration.

The invention relates to a positioning method based on RFID and phase calibration, which comprises the steps of firstly adopting a synthetic aperture technology, carrying out matching positioning by a method of acquiring phase and amplitude data of a label at different positions at certain space intervals through a reader antenna moving along a known track, then establishing a pixel database of an area to be positioned based on a phase and amplitude data model, finally calculating the similarity between a label measurement vector and a pixel point data vector to carry out matching positioning, and selecting a pixel point with the highest similarity, wherein the position of the pixel point corresponds to label information. Compared with the traditional RFID label positioning method, the method can be more suitable for dynamic scenes such as conveyor belts, handheld equipment and the like, and has good anti-multipath interference capability. In addition, the invention can carry out high-precision positioning on the label only by a mobile reader antenna without an additional reference label and a time-consuming calibration stage. Existing RFID location methods typically consider the antenna phase center to be constant. This is possible when the antenna and tag are stationary. However, in SAR RFID, relative movement of the reader antenna and tag changes the angle of arrival of the signal, resulting in a change in the antenna phase center, which we refer to as Phase Center Shift (PCS). The PCS will affect the observed phase and cause positioning errors. Therefore, the invention provides a positioning method based on RFID and phase calibration.
