Summary:
Unique Identification codes offered by Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technologies enable a detection and recognition of tagged items. In a preliminary development phase, RFID technologies were mainly applied to an object tracking in logistics and inventory management. However, advantages of this technology were rapidly extended to other areas like management of books and documents. Recently, the RFID system is used in a library. As a result, efficient collection management is realized. In the City of Kita Library in Tokyo, the RFID system is employed, and librarians can manage books by using a handy reader. As more effective managerial system, RFID smart shelf is proposed by some papers [1], [2]. However, the systems are generally very expensive, because it requires a lot of reader antenna to cover the entire shelf. In this paper, we propose a smart shelf utilizing a single wire transmission line [3] in order to reduce fabrication cost. This system manages the entire bookshelf by using a single wire and a reader.
