Abstract
In this thesis, I present the design and implementation of a real-time simulation tool, RFID Vis, that is used to simulate a UHF RFID environment. The simulation tool simulates environments containing to pallets of cases as is common in parts of the supply chain. The simulation tool consists of two parts, a graphical front end which interfaces with the user as well as displays the electromagnetic power present in a given volume of space in an intuitive manner and an electromagnetics simulation engine which takes care of all the electromagnetic calculations and approximations. The simulation tool is written in C++ using Microsoft DirectX 9.0 to interface with the graphics hardware. RFID Vis enables users to quickly simulate a real world operating scenario providing insights and building intuition.
