RFID Reader
RFID Reader A RFID Reader converts RF signals into a data stream that can be read by RFID tags. It can be either fixed or mobile (such as in a car) and is usually powered by battery. Using RSS information, each reader can estimate its location. This information can be combined to create a map of the environment. Detection When an RFID reader detects a tag, it sends a signal to the IC on the tag and receives RFID Tag a backscatter signal in return. The IC uses the received signal to translate the ID information into usable data. This data can then be communicated to the reader’s RF antenna…

RFID Reader
RFID Reader The RFID reader acquires a wireless signal reflected from the tag and demodulates it to obtain information including ID, received signal strength (RSS) and other data. RFID readers can be handheld, fixed or embedded into vehicles. RFID deployment in dressing rooms enables you to know which styles customers select and how many try-ons they undergo. This allows you to provide better service and increase sales. Identification Unlike barcode readers that require direct line of sight to read data, RFID readers use radio frequency waves to communicate with tags. When the reader transmits a signal, the tag’s microchip activates to send back signals with its data. This information is…

RFID Reader
RFID Reader RFID tags give physical items an electronic identity. An RFID reader transmits a radio frequency and when a compatible tag enters the range, it sends back a signal with encoded information. This allows for individual product traceability, which reduces system errors and unproductive work. It also allows work to continue offline in emergencies. What Does an RFID Reader Mean? The RFID reader, also known as an interrogator, transmits and receives radio frequency waves that allow it to communicate with an RFID tag. It is designed to interface with an information processing system that can take advantage of the data collected by the RFID reader. The most common use…
