Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Visual observation or motion picture analysis are conventional methods to observe laboratory rat behavior. An unmanned measurement system is indispensable in order to monitor easily and enhance the objectivity of the data. A new tracking system of rats by using RFID is proposed. This system realizes both tracking and individually identifying of rats by scanning reader antenna coils embedded in the floor surface, and communicating the reader coils and the RF tag that is injected into rat. Strength of Coupling between antenna coil and tag coil was investigated in terms of S21. This study suggested the feasibility to formulate S21 with positional relationship between two coils.
