"The
wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary
telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and
it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the
cat." - Albert Einstein (likely
misattributed)
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by David Wetherall. My research is focused on wireless
systems. Recently, I have been looking at UHF RFID via
the USRP
and GNU Radio.
I've used the platform to study commercial systems and to implement a
"Gen 2" compliant software defined RFID reader (here). I am currently
building RFID Sensor Networks using the SDR reader and the Intel
Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP).
Having the MAC and PHY implemented in software at both the reader and
the tag means there is no end to the fun.
