RFID: A Closer View
Posted by on October 26th, 2011
Within the last few years RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has steadily migrated from the inner circles of science and technology into the public consciousness. RFID is now well-integrated into the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive. even what’s in your medicine cabinet. What is it? RFID refers to a network [...]
Why an UHF TEM Cell Is So Important
Posted by on October 24th, 2011
In the R&D phase choosing of the substrate, antenna impedance reactance and antenna and inlay impedance match are the most significant in the impact on tag performances for the customer specific application. Substantial testing is often required to ensure that the Tag produces the desired READ RANGE when applied to the specified medium. On another [...]
