Omron Antenna Boosts RFID
Japan-based Omron Corp. has developed a electronic control antenna technology claimed to be the first embedded in an UHF-band RFID reader that can improve RFID tag reading performance. UHF RFID tags have been subject to multipath interference, an inherent problem of electromagnetic signals, which can make an RFID tag unreadable even if it is within the range of the reader.
Omron plans to conduct experiments to verify and evaluate the validity of the technology for various potential applications, with the goal of commercializing and implementing the technology into RFID readers by the latter half of fiscal 2006. Continue>>
