The RF in RFID

• 3rd Edition
• December 1, 2099
• Daniel Dobkin + 2 more
• English

The RF in RFID, Third Edition explains how UHF tags and readers communicate wirelessly. It gives an understanding of what limits the read range of a tag, how to increase it (and why that might result in breaking the law), and the practical things that need to be addressed when designing and implementing RFID technology. Avoiding heavy math, but giving breadth of coverage with the right amount of detail, it is an ideal introduction to radio communications for engineers who need insight into how tags and readers work.

Handbook of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Textiles and Clothing

• 2nd Edition
• December 1, 2099
• Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu
• English

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to evaluate the environmental impacts of textile products, from raw material extraction, through fibre processing, textile manufacture, distribution and use, to disposal or recycling. LCA is an important tool for the research and development process, product and process design, and labelling of textiles and clothing. Handbook of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Textiles and Clothing 2e systematically covers the LCA process with a substantially expanded range of examples and case studies. New topics now covered include virtual carbon and energy flows in the global textile trade, ethical issues in LCA, and up-cycling and reuse of garments. Part one of the book covers key indicators and processes in LCA, from carbon and ecological footprints to disposal, re-use and recycling. Part two then discusses a broad range of LCA applications in the textiles and clothing industry.
