Introduction
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has broad applicability to the automatic identification
and data capture (AIDC) industry in item management. As a wireless communication technique based
on radio frequency technology, the applications cover multiple levels of the industrial, commercial and
retail supply chains. These can include:
— freight containers,
— returnable transport items (RTI),
— transport units,
— product packaging, and
— product tagging.
Performance tests define test methods which deliver results that allow the comparison of different
RFID systems, interrogators and tags in order to select among them for use in a particular application.
The performance characteristics of devices (tags and interrogation equipment) can vary drastically due
to application factors as well as the particular RFID air interface (frequency, modulation, protocol, etc.)
being supported. Of key concern is the matching of the various performance characteristics to the user
application. Additionally, in an open environment, users of such technology demand multiple sources
for these devices from technology providers. A key challenge is a method of evaluating the differences
between various technology providers' products in a consistent and equitable manner.
This document provides a framework for meeting the above noted concerns and challenges. To this end,
clear definitions of performance as related to user application of RFID technology in the supply chain
are provided. Based on such application-based definitions, test methods are defined with attention to
the test parameters required for a consistent evaluation of RFID devices.
Of particular significance, these tests are defined for RFID devices with one antenna. It is common
practice to have products with both single and multiple antennae to define an RFID transaction zone
sufficient for the application. The defined test methods used are for a single antenna but can equivalently
be extended to equipment with multiple antennae, in order to evaluate performance under conditions
more closely matching those of a particular application. However, it is important to exercise care in
multiple-antenna measurement since multiple antennae can cause antenna-to-antenna interactions,
physical packaging limitations, mutual coupling issues, shadowing issues, directivity issues and other
impacts, even with respect to interrogators since these can be limited in size, shape and mounting
method for many RFID applications.
