Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the MC3300xR LED indications.

RFID Technology Overview

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
To read a tag, the mobile computer sends out radio frequency waves using its integrated antenna. This RF field powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage. The computer application translates the data into an understandable format.

RFID Components

Zebra RFID solutions offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. The MC3300xR’s RFID system consists of the following components:
Silicon-based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc.
An integrated antenna that supports applications such as item level tracking and asset tracking.
An embedded radio module that powers and communicates with tags for data capture and provides host connectivity for data migration.

Tags

Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often called transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data.
There are several categories of tags based on the protocol they support, read/write memory, and power options:
Active RFID tags are powered by internal light-weight batteries, and also use these batteries to broadcast radio waves to the reader.
Semi-passive RFID tags are also powered by internal light-weight batteries, but draw broadcasting power from the reader.
Passive RFID tags are powered by a reader-generated RF field. These tags are much lighter and less expensive than active tags, and are typically applied to less expensive goods.

Antenna

Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals.

Radio Module

The radio module communicates with the tags and transfers the data to a host computer. It also provides features such as filtering, CRC check, and tag writing. The MC3300xR supports standard RFID tags as described by EPCGlobalTM Class 1 Gen2 protocol.
