Design considerations for embedded software-defined RFID readers

摘要

The RFID market is driven by the need to minimize shrinkage and improve inventory controls in retail, warehouses and manufacturing environments. For the system engineer, that translates into a need to enhance reader performance and decrease cost. Embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) readers are used in label printer and hand-held applications, where end users need to read data from—and write data to—RFID tags on labels attached to those products. These readers are designed to be small, low cost, and easy to integrate into host systems.
