Maximizing RFID System Performance Under Varying Conditions

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has revolutionized the tracking practice for many companies, as it offers a quicker way to track multiple items over long distances. RFID is a highly versatile technology with applications throughout business – from baggage handling, controlling manufacturing processes to real-time tracking of inventory. While it can offer considerable benefits, it does come with some limitations and challenges, such as read range limitations, sensitivity to types of shapes of surrounding materials, orientation and positioning, etc.

To successfully optimize RFID deployment and take full advantage of what this technology has to offer, careful system design must be undertaken with focus on antennas and the surrounding electromagnetic environment. In this webinar, we will cover some of the RFID design challenges and show you how the use of 3D electromagnetic simulation software helps to address them to improve the read range of the RFID system under various conditions.
