RangeMaster card reader recognizes different tags

Anadigm announced that the RangeMaster card will be on the market soon. It can make a certain kind of reader a universal reader, read a variety of different RFID tags, contain different modulation methods and different operating frequencies. RangeMaster fully supports EPC Global Gen 1 and Gen 2 (class 0, 1, 2) and ISO 18000-6 standards. RangeMaster is the first software in the RFID reader driver software series developed by Anadigm to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding RFID market. RFID technology can revolutionize the distribution market because it simplifies inspections and simplifies inventory management. For example, you can put your baggage on the plane you are riding on.

RangeMaster works on two chips, with programmable analog system (FPAA) and RFID state machine. The system designer can use RangeMaster to develop the original reader into universal RFID tag reader to support multi-protocol system and different The frequency of work. The original reader could be a mobile or handheld reader, or a bar code scanning RFID combo reader. The RangeMaster is actually just a printed circuit board. With proper programming, it can support a variety of end products and simplify product development. Users can modify their RFID tag readers to save time on the market and reduce development costs.

The basis of this program is programmable technology, which enables many system reforms. For example, the gain of the analog front end of the RFID reader can be adjusted to fit the read range of the tag. The reader can be calibrated in the field to eliminate background interference, such as fluorescent light interference. RangeMaster allows EPC dual-frequency decoding or specified frequency decoding. The dual-chip combination has an anti-saturation function. The read data frequency range is from DC to 800 kHz, and the specified frequency can be as high as 3 MHz.

Bill McLean, CEO of Anadigm, stated: "The output of RFID readers for product identification and inventory management will grow at an annual rate of over 50% over the next four years. With analog programmable technology, Anadigm is developing flexible systems that can System integration at a higher level can also significantly reduce costs."
