RFID integration into the dairy cow milking process can yield benefits for the farmer. ...

Ubisense on Smarter dairy farming: "For cows in lactation the potential value of this knowledge is said to be EUR 315 – 355 per animal if the information is converted into action by the farm manager. In addition there are many soft benefits derived by using the system such as better animal welfare and health. "

RFID Spectrum Visualized by Analyzer

Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) uses Tektronix RSA6114A Real-time Spectrum Analyzer to test UHF-band RFID tags. Live RF spectrum displays on the RSA6114A enables researchers to visualize success or failure in obtaining RFID channels. ...

... "The objectives for this testing have been to resolve real world technical issues and to construct a sophisticated operating model, as well as the formulation of necessary guidelines and rules in relation to usage in preparation for the full-scale dissemination of UHF-band RFID tags. Live RF spectrum displays on the RSA6114A enables researchers to observe success or failure in obtaining RFID channels. There are a variety of different frequencies and modulation methods used in digital RF applications such as RFID, and each of these requires a specific type of measurement technology. For situations where signals can change instantaneously such as pulsed RF signals or carrier frequency in a frequency hopping systems, accurate meaningful measurements using conventional swept spectrum analyzer are difficult. " ...
