ø reading range could be affected by the nearby metal
articles like the household appliance, equipments,
metal frames, etc.
ø Make sure that the objects attached with the electronic
tags to be identified stay within the valid reading area
for longer than 10 milli-second (regarding XCTF-5000
electronic tag).
ø The polarization direction of the reader antenna shall
be the same as that of the electronic tag antenna. If the
reader antenna is linearly polarized, the electronic tag
could be rotated by 90 degree to find out minimum
and maximum reading range.
ø If the reader antenna is round polarized, the electronic
tag may be rotated by 360 degrees in the plane facing
the reader antenna without affecting the reading range.
ø In the case that the electronic tag is vertical to the
reader antenna, the reader-writer antenna can’t
communicate with the electronic tag, however it is
polarized.
ø The optimal length of electronic tag antenna is related
to the non-conduct material in which the antenna is
packed or embedded. The basic idea is: for the
ø electronic tag packed in non-conductor (its dielectric
