5 Regulatory Information
5.1 Federal Communications Commission
Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. This product must be installed by a professional
technician/installer.

6 Antenna Setup
CS468-2INT is a 16 port reader where the ports are switched on in time
one by one. At any time only 1 port is switched on and the RF power comes
out only at that port. The rest of the ports are turned off so that no energy
comes out from the other ports.
The control logic of the antenna is shown as below table

Appendix A. RFID Basics
Passive tag RFID technology involves the reader, the antenna and the tag.
The reader sends out energy in the relevant frequency band to the antenna via RF cables, and
the antenna radiates the energy out. This energy impinges on an RFID tag.
The RFID tag consists of an antenna coupled to an RFID IC. This IC converts the AC voltage
it receives at the antenna port to DC voltage that in turn is used to empower the digital circuit
inside.
The digital circuit then turns on and off some components connected to the antenna port,
thereby changing its scattering behavior, in a pre-designed clock rate.
This changing of antenna port parameters then causes a “modulation” of the back-scattered RF
energy.
This modulated back-scattered energy is detected by the reader and the modulation is captured
and analyzed.
