What Is RFID Backscatter? From Basic Principles to UHF RFID System Design
Passive UHF RFID tags can communicate without a battery, cellular connection, Wi-Fi radio, or conventional transmitter. This is possible because the tag does not generate a completely independent radio signal. Instead, it receives energy from an RFID reader, powers its integrated circuit, and changes how much of the reader’s RF energy is reflected back. This […]

What Is Frequency Hopping in RFID? How FHSS Reduces Reader Interference
UHF RFID systems use radio waves to communicate between readers, antennas, and passive RFID tags. In a small installation with one reader, radio-frequency interference may be relatively easy to control. In a warehouse, factory, retail store, distribution center, or event venue with several readers operating at the same time, the RF environment becomes more complicated. […]
