Reader that can operate in different frequencies or can use different tag-to-reader communication protocols (generally stationary)

Frequencies between 30-300 KHz - Generally use passive tags - have low data-transfer rates from the tag to the reader - and are especially good if the operating environment contains metals - liquids - dirt - snow - or mud. Active tags also available

When two waves (in phase) impose on each other and enhance the original signal and give rise to protrusions

Divides time into discrete time intervals (slots) . A packet can only be transmitted at the beginning of a slot - reduces the collision duration.

Controls the internal functions under the command of the processor

Reader receives and executes commands from an application running on a host machine from a user using a vendor-supplied client to communicate with the reader. After reader fully executes the current command - it waits for the next. Reader can execute

Readability of a tag greatly depends on this and the angle at which the tag is presented to the reader

A mechanical device for controlling or moving objects - A programmable logic controller (PLC) - robot arm - mechanical arm - etc.

In this this antenna type - the RF waves emanate in a linear pattern from the antenna. Waves have only one energy field

IC Chip - Antenna/Inductor - Power Source

One of the most versatile actuators. Widely used in manufacturing plants. They enable a variety of actions to be performed (such as monitoring and controlling a product packaging line - or applying a predetermined amount of torque to nuts in a mechan
