Basic PrinciplesHow does RFID work?
Interrogation
Energy
Clock
Data
Data
Lecture on a large range
Legible without direct visibility
Simultaneous reads without direct visibility
Reading and writing data on tags

Basic Principles What does a tag contain (RFID)?
RFID in HF (13,56 MHz)
RFID in UHF (~900 MHz)
Dipole Antenna
GroundingChip
Condenser
Coil Antenna
Chip
The chip may contain:• Data ROM (identificator)• Data R/W (information)• A cryptographic processor

1. Global standards
Why are global standards important?
REDUCE COMPLEXITY• Within organizations• Between organizations• For HW and SW production and purchase decisions
REDUCE COST• Implementation• HW and SW integration
FACILITATE TRADING PARTNER COLLABORATION
ALLOW ORGANIZATIONS TO FOCUS MORE ON HOW TO USE INFORMATION THAN HOW TO GET INFORMATION

• Global standards Standards and technology
GEN-2 The global standard for UHF
Global regulatory compliance
Fast read speed (up to 1.000 tags/s)
Memory write (up to 7 tags/s)
Dense reader operations (aloha algorithm) Kill security (32 bit password) Low cost potential

• Global standards Regulatory infrastructure
Spectrum allocation to allow use of GEN-2
UHF spectrum (860-960 MHz)
Power regulations (2W erp/4W eirp)
Significant progress made:

• Global standards GEN-2 operation range
GEN-2 can operate worldwide
Same tag operates in Asia/Europe/US
Have exceptional sensitivity across all regions
No need to use different tags for different locations

• Tags performance key points
Product material types: paper, plastic, metal, liquid
Orientation sensitivity
Read range

• Material dependence of global tags performance
Tag performance can be affected by the type of material it is applied to, causing the antenna to be ‘detuned’. lower probability of read success.
Choose the right tag for the right purpose: corrugated, metal, or liquid.
