Tags and standards are clearly important for RFID's widespread adoption. In addition, RFID readers should be evaluated with equal or greater care than tags. Readers are the engines that make RFID work. They interrogate tags, sift through data and package it up for storage or use by other systems. Whereas tags typically have a short cycle within a facility, readers must continue to work for a long time. In this course you will understand how the performance of a RFID system is evaluated. We will cover:

• Tags' Memory Capacity
• Data Transfer Speed
• Operating Range
• Multiple-Tags-in-Field Capability
• Operating Temperatures
• Tag and reader frequency
• Reader to reader interference
