High-Scalability RFID Architecture

Mojix introduces European version of the Mojix STAR system, its UHF passive RFID solution for high-scalability. The system delivers significant improvements in reader sensitivity, extended read range, and additional coverage. ...

... "Functioning as a single network element at the enterprise edge, a Mojix STAR system consists of one or more Mojix STAR Receivers each managing up to 512 low-cost Mojix eNode transmitters, which are oriented to define the system's potentially huge, three dimensional coverage area. Mojix eNode transmitters provide energy to all passive RFID tags within their specified interrogation spaces. The centralized, high-sensitivity Mojix STAR receiver processes the resulting tag signals from across the system's 25,000 sq meter coverage area, including non line-of-sight tag signals. This unprecedented receive sensitivity is the result of Mojix’s use of advanced digital signal processing, phased array receiver, digital beam forming and digital packet radio to detect the faintest signals across large distances in noisy RF environments.

RFID Transponder, Inlay Perform in Industrial Environment

Texas Instruments introduces the 12 mm Multi-Usage Wedge Transponder and 24 mm LF Circular Inlay to deliver improved performance in highly metallic and harsh industrial environments. ...

... "The 12 mm Multi-Usage Wedge Transponder offers improvements in chip circuitry that enable direct-on-metal mounting. The 24 mm LF Circular Inlay, manufactured using TI's patented tuning process, provides improved consistency in read and write performance in applications such as waste management and industrial production. The tags incorporate a number of TI's patented RFID technology and quality innovations including half-duplex (HDX) radio communication. HDX boosts read range by 50 percent compared with full-duplex (FDX) LF and offers a stronger RF signal because the HDX reader shuts down during the HDX tag's response. This allows the HDX reader to concentrate on receiving the signal thereby obtaining an accurate read as compared to FDX. In FDX systems, the reader signal remains on and may create RF interference as it attempts to read the FDX tag. HDX also features frequency shift keying technology which makes TI's tags more immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other ambient environmental noise, allowing the reader to effectively read and differentiate tags that are close together.
