Abstract
An investigation in current RFID technology with an envision design of a hybrid setup with Active RFID and camera technology. Current Active RFID technologies focus on dynamic mesh networks with complex functionality on the tag side. Accuracy of is at best a few meters. A proposed design uses a simpler RSSI model suggest a dynamic positioned antenna to enhance the accuracy of simple star-shape networks. The design focuses on a double helical antenna positioned on a motorized dual axis controller.
