This paper presents the setup of a testbed developed for the
fast evaluation of RFID systems in two frequency domains.
At the one hand the 13.56MHz and at the other hand the
868MHz frequency domain are supported. The suggested
design flow for configuring the testbed is highly automated
and supports rapid evaluations of different designs and implementations
within shortest time. Several layers of abstraction
for rating existing and future RFID standards are
provided, from abstract simulation models down to the implementation
on the rapid prototype. This includes a fast
setup for measuring and rating existing RFID standards,
or running them side by side, as well as the rapid exploration
of future RFID designs and various aspects of those
prototypes. It allows for verifying both protocol stack- and
signal processing of RFID systems. In order to demonstrate
this concept, we briefly describe an implemented example
system, and our overall hardware layout in detail. Measurement
results on two existing RFID standards corroborate
the concept.
