Abstract :
This paper describes several RFID technology related course topics dealing with antenna design, protocol design, and implementation strategies accessed from a centralized system for students to access. By utilizing the central system, students from multiple universities can share a single piece of equipment and still learn about the underlying RFID technology. Additionally, by creating this interface system, the necessary features for RFID development can be made available to students and instructors need not learn every single detail of complicated equipment to effectively teach students to work with RFID technology
