Evaluation systems

The Evaluation system is a complete reader with 100 transponders.

The systems are supplied with one of two versions of their famous low power transponders - among the smallest, lowest power passive UHF transponders availalble anywhere in the world - and the super sensitive receiver capable of reading credit card sized transponders from 2 cms to 11 meters from the reader.The tags can also be attached to metal objects still giving full operating range.

  • The small "creditcard" sized (80mm by 35mm) Ecochiptagtm version that needs just
    • 200uW (two hundred microwatts) of RF energy to operate in countries that use the UHF spectrum for compatibility with the GSM cellphone network (such as Europe).
    • 200uW (two hundred microwatts) of RF energy for US, Canada and countries that use the US spectrum plan.

    These transponders offer operating ranges of up to 11 meters (even if attached to metal) depending on antenna, mounting and reader power.

    RFID Technologies have packaged the systems into a complete kit comprising a reader, antennas, cables and 100 transponders.

    Additional transponders can be purchased.

    Reader with patch antenna and cables

    Contents of kit
    The kit comprises a working reader and 100 EcochipTag transponders . The reader is housed in a simple case and its incorporated power supplies are operated from AC mains (115volts - 240 volts). The reader plugs directly into a PC to display the received codes and connects 2 Patch antennas supplied with the kit.

    Components of the "Evaluation system".

  • Reader system comprising
  • Reader housed in ABS (UL 94 HB) plastic case
  • Power amplifier capable of delivering 0.5 to 4 watts RF power controlled by external control
  • Connectors for receive and transmit antennas
  • Receiver for demodulating backscattered signals and implimenting Trolleyponder protocol.
  • Output via RS232 at 9600 baud to external PC.
  • Capable of reading multiple transponders in the field at the same time
  • Power supplies operate either on 110-120 volts or 220-240 volts.
  • Antenna systems
  • Two 8dBi Patch linear polarised antennas matched to 50 ohm.
  • Transponder modules
  • 100 Ecochiptag Creditcard sized operating in the EU or US frequency bands.
  • Cabling
  • RS232 cable to link reader to PC
  • Cost of Evaluation system as above - US$2775 plus shipping and local taxes.

    RFID Technologies use a Tag-talks-first protocol which causes virtually no interference for other users in the vicinity, having interference levels nearly 1 million times less than the reader-talks-first type protocols. Two readers can operate simultaneously within a few meters of each other using only 10kHz of bandwidth each. These features are important for applications that require many readers to operate within a building.

    (The power of the system is so low that in the event of the power levels being higher than allowed by local regulations, the system is unlikely to cause any interference outside an immediate zone of a few meters radius of the reader. The system has no impact on or from Cell phones as it operates on different frequencies). The system is safe from a health point of view as the powers are much less than that experiences by users of cellphones

    Software
    RFID Technologies products are simple to interface and no special software is needed for operation in a basic form. Instructions are provided for users who are skilled in software development so that they can achieve full capabilities of this advanced technology. In addition RFID Technologies provide simple-to-use software modules so that users can interface equipment easily to the internet. See details
