Radio frequency identification reader for contact-less reading of data from transponder e.g. radio frequency identification chip, has shielding unit with conductive metal housing that surrounds reading region for shielding surrounding area

摘要

The reader has a reading region (5) for introducing a transponder (2) such that the transponder is readable by a reading unit (3) in a data communication between the reading unit and the transponder. A shielding unit (6) is arranged in the reading region in such a manner that the data communication is shielded in a surrounding area of the reading region. The shielding unit exhibits a conductive metal housing that surrounds the reading region in order to shield the surrounding area with respect to a radio frequency that is utilized during the data communication in the reading region.
