Why ___________ is better: Cost of printed antennas varies between 24-44% of copper antennas - Printed antennas show 93-96% radiation efficiency compared to copper antennas...

Measurement of power for radiation of antenna used in US

Also called a fixed reader - Mounted on a wall - portal - or some suitable structure in the read zone. Readers not generally very tolerant of harsh environmental conditions - therefore if installed outdoors or on moving objects - take care to ruggedi

Smart cards - smart label - etc.

Mount the tiny chip to a strap - Greater handling ability - Possibility to use very small chips - Possibility of higher volume production - Fluidic Self Assembly

Determines the read zone of a reader - Also called an antenna pattern - 3D region shaped somewhat like an ellipsoid or a balloon projecting out the front of the antenna. Never uniformly shaped like an ellipsoid but almost always contains deformities
