RF Technologies Journal Issues Call for Papers
Several academics have come together to create a peer-reviewed journal focused on RFID and related technologies.
How Does RFID Perform in Cases of High Concentration?
Are there are resultant performance problems when there are 1,000 tags within a real field? —Name withheld ——— There is no problem reading large concentrations of tags. The air-interface protocols have anticollission algorithms enabling readers to communicate very...
Why Can’t RFID Systems Use 2.4 GHz Inductive Coupling to Communicate?
High-frequency (HF) tags and readers use inductive coupling to communicate. Ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) tags can also employ inductive coupling in the near field. Why can’t 2.4 GHz inductive coupling be utilized? —Name withheld ——— That’s an interesting...RFID News Roundup
Ekahau intros Wi-Fi monitoring, troubleshooting tool for mobile phones, tablets; RF Code, Server Technology announce wire-free power monitoring for data centers; Google unveils Nexus S phone, incorporating NXP’s NFC technology; NFC Forum launches certification program, publishes four specs; Austriamicrosystems teams with NXP on solution for product authentication, extends agreement with Future Electronics; ISO publishes updated ISO 18000-6 standard with support for BAP.
Adasa Plans Launch of Encryption System for EPC Tags
The company hopes its proprietary solution will gain acceptance as a way to secure tag data, as well as authenticate tags and the products to which they are attached.
How Can I Track Bags of Oysters?
My company grows Kumamoto oysters in floating bags, and would like to control individual bags with RFID tags. What types of tags could I use that would be waterproof 24/7 in salt water? The tags would not normally be immersed, but would always be at least wet, and...Be Wary of RFID Advice Givers
Some who claim to be experts aren’t really experts, but rather self-promoters with no history of helping end users achieve benefits from RFID.
What Are the Class and Generation of RFID Tags?
What is the difference between the two terms? —Name withheld ——— In the world of radio frequency identification, “generation” refers to the version of the standard employed. EPC Gen 2 was the second version of the air-interface protocol standard for...New Director Named for the University of Texas in Arlington’s Auto-ID Lab
