Chipset for universal HF and UHF RFID readers

25 January 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Anadigm's RangeMaster2 is the company's second generation RFID reader 3,3 V chipset solution that allows system vendors to design and maintain a single 'universal' reader that can be customised to read different RFID tag types, with different modulation types and frequencies. RangeMaster family fully supports HF and UHF protocols - EPC Global Gen 1 and Gen 2 (class 0, 1, 2) and ISO18000-6 standards. RangeMaster2 is a two-chip set comprised of a dynamically programmable analog signal processor (dpASP) in conjunction with an RFID State Machine. This enables system designers to develop a universal RFID tag reader that can support multiple protocols and frequencies for universal fixed readers, portable/handheld readers, combination bar code and RFID reader/scanners. RangeMaster2 operates at 3,3 V, while providing increased read range and sensitivity optimisation with variable gain. It offers the user a choice of four different baseband analog signal processing circuits: Universal, EPC Gen 2 (Twin or Triple) or Class 0.
