| Anadigm is
offering radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reader chipset
which is designed to support EPC Global Gen 1 and Gen 2 (class 0,
1, 2) and ISO18000-6 standards.
Called RangeMaster, it is a two chip design based on a field
programmable analogue array with an RFID state machine. The
intention is to support the development of universal RFID tag
readers that can support multiple protocols and frequencies for
Universal Fixed Readers, Portable/Handheld Readers, Combination Bar
Code and RFID Reader/Scanners.
One design
feature is that the gain in the analogue front-end of the reader
can be adjusted for the tag read range. The reader can be
calibrated at the customer site to eliminate background
interferences, such as fluorescent lighting. RangeMaster allows
EPC2 frequency pair decoding or selectable single frequency
decoding.
The chipset
also provides anti-saturation control and can extract all data
frequencies from DC to 800kHz, and selected frequencies up to
3MHz.
