1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RT400 is a high-integrated and high-performance UHF RFID module based on our
advanced analog circuit design and digital signal processing technology specified for
RFID. It supports ISO 18000-6C/EPC C1 GEN2 protocol and offers a much longer
operation distance than HF RFID system.
RT400 supports USB virtual COM port and can be operated via COM commands
easily. There are also APIs on Windows and Windows Mobile, users can develop UHF
RFID application swiftly. We also offer several different kinds of UHF antenna to be
cooperated with RT400.

Description
bFreMode
UCHAR*
Frequency Option:
0: 920-925MHz;
1: 840-845MHz;
2: ETSI;
3: reserved;
4: user-defined;
BFreBase
UCHAR*
Base Frequency:
0: 50MHz;
1: 125MHz;
bBaseFre
UCHAR*
Starting Frequency, value range: 840~960;
bChannNum
UCHAR*
The Number of Frequency Channels, value range: 1~16;
bChannSpc
UCHAR*
Frequency channel factor:
When bFreBase = 50, value range: 1~20;
When bFreBase = 125, value range: 1~8;
bFreHop
UCHAR*
The Way of Frequency Jump:
0: Random;
1: From high to low frequency;
2: From low to high frequency;
others: Random;
The relationships between starting frequency, stop frequency, base frequency, frequency channel, frequency
channel factor:
if(base frequency == 0)
{
stop frequency - starting frequency = (frequency channel - 1) * frequency channel factor * 0.050
}else{
stop frequency - starting frequency = (frequency channel - 1) * frequency channel factor * 0.125
}
Example: Frequency range is 920.625-924.375MHz
base frequency =1;
starting frequency decimal part is 0.625;
starting frequency integer part is 920;
starting frequency decimal part in hex: 0.625÷0.125 = 0x05;
„920‟ in binary is 11 1001 1000;
bBaseFre[0] = (byte)(11 1001 1000 >> 3); --->0x73
bBaseFre[1] = (byte)(11 1001 1000 << 5 | (0x05 & 0x1F)); --->0x05
Page 33
StrongLink RT400 UHF Module
33 / 34
stop frequency - starting frequency = (frequency channel - 1) * frequency channel factor * 0.125;
That is,
924.375 -920.625 = （frequency channel - 1）* frequency channel factor * 0.125;
So that,
（frequency channel -1）* frequency channel factor = 30;
And,
When “frequency channel”= 16, “frequency channel factor”= 2;
bFreMode = 4;
bFreBase = 1;
bFreBase = {0x73 , 0x05};
bChannNum = 16;
bChannSpc = 2;
bFreHop = 0;(Random frequency jump).
