1.0 Introduction
1.1 Fundamentals
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR
®
(Intelligent Long Range
®
) technology is the next generation of
long range RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The objective is wireless and automated
data collection over large distances.
1.2 System Overview
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR-System consists of four main components:
• Active tags (also called transponders) with internal power supply, which are used to
identify goods or to store data and histories
• Interrogator (i-PORT; fixed-mounted) and handheld devices (mobile), which exchange
information with the tags and host computer systems
• Antennas for definition of read zone
• A central computer system as basis for control and monitoring
This manual only describes the operations of the i-D2 active tag.
1.3 Operational Description
The i-D2 tag is a high performance active RFID tag suitable for a wide variety of
applications. The tag response to an activation telegram from the interrogator is to
transmit its unique identification number. It is available in either a personnel or industrial
style housing, and in two receive sensitivity modes, low or high.
The tag has a low current ASK receiver in the UHF band for a data rate up to 38.4 Kbps.
The PLL stabilized ASK transmitter has a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps.
The operation range is 6 meters (20 feet) in open air, with a typical operation life of six
years.
