13 years ago --- Quote Start --- I currently have a project that asked me to develop an architecture of an RFID system including the various aspects encoding / decoding, modulation / demodulation,anti-collision, security, etc ... The objectives of this project is the design of a reconfigurable RFID system for UHF band and implementation on FPGA. so the question is which kit can i use for this project? --- Quote End --- No, that's not the question. The questions are: 1) Is it supposed to be low power? If the answer is yes, then stop thinking about FPGAs right now. You should look at low-power microcontrollers. 2) What is your RFID system supposed to do that an existing ASIC does not already do? Again, there are low-power microcontrollers designed for this sort of thing. 3) Ok, so you want to do it in an FPGA, just because :) Given that you need to transmit and receive RF signals, what frequency and bandwidth are they? That will define the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) requirements, if you plan on doing everything from scratch. Alternatively, if you have an RFID interface chip and want to interface that to an FPGA, please post a link (or as best you can) and we'll take a look at it. Cheers, Dave
