Investigation into improved wireless communication for rural and regional Australia. The project will improve the performance of wireless communications allowing better and more accessible communication throughout rural and regional Australia. This will enable a more efficient communications as it will reduce the requirements of cables.
Printable Multi-Bit Radio Frequency Identification for Banknotes. This project will investigate inexpensive radio-frequency transponders on banknotes that enjoy all of the advantages of, and, indeed, operate in a manner somewhat similar to barcodes. Transponders of this type may potentially replace barcode technology, thereby allowing automated identification of individual banknotes at multiple points in transaction chains. The resulting efficiencies in banknote authentication and other applic ....Printable Multi-Bit Radio Frequency Identification for Banknotes.

Transponders of this type may potentially replace barcode technology, thereby allowing automated identification of individual banknotes at multiple points in transaction chains. The resulting efficiencies in banknote authentication and other applications will generate a significant economic benefit for Australia. Additionally, the development of state-of-the-art transponders based on fundamental microwave- and antenna engineering prospectively gives Australia a cutting-edge advantage as a leading player in the fast-growing RFID market.Read moreRead less

Back-scatter based Radio Freqency IDentification (RFID) system capable of reading multiple chipless tags for regional and suburban libraries. Australia has the highest rate of library usage among the developed countries. However, only a few libraries in Australia use RFID based library management system. The main hindrance is the cost of the tag compared to the optical barcode. The project addresses the problem by offer a smart RFID reader which can read multiple chipless RFID tags. The results ....Back-scatter based Radio Freqency IDentification (RFID) system capable of reading multiple chipless tags for regional and suburban libraries.

The main hindrance is the cost of the tag compared to the optical barcode. The project addresses the problem by offer a smart RFID reader which can read multiple chipless RFID tags. The results of the project will bring Australia on a cutting edge technology and serving the community better with state-of-the-art RFID based library management system. Also export of the technology will put Australia in the forefront of the RFID applications.Read moreRead less
Smart Information Management of Partial Discharge in Switchyards using Smart Antennas. Currently no single robust technology for partial discharge (PD) detection, location and unique identification of faulty power apparatus is commercially available. The proposed method will bring a new technological breakthrough in the market for PD monitoring, management and prevention. On-line real time fault detection and monitoring system of expensive power installations will save significant revenue for po ....Smart Information Management of Partial Discharge in Switchyards using Smart Antennas. Currently no single robust technology for partial discharge (PD) detection, location and unique identification of faulty power apparatus is commercially available. The proposed method will bring a new technological breakthrough in the market for PD monitoring, management and prevention. On-line real time fault detection and monitoring system of expensive power installations will save significant revenue for power industries in Australia and worldwide. This real time monitoring system will also give Australia a leading edge technological advantage over overseas competitors. Read moreRead less
