RF is the automatic identification object recognition technology. Readers are to read in the attached electronic tags on objects such as to carry out card access to the information, animal tracking, checking inventory and merchandise checkout, and sales of the whole supply chain management. This will become a model to change human consumption patterns emerging technology. The main operation principle of RFID is utilizing the reading device (Reader) Send RF wave for the electronic label that is planted into or stuck on the things
(Tag) in order to distinguish the wireless materials. The composition component of RFID system includes Reader, Tag, PAD or cell-phone and the contents which are in reader or tag. When the application system wants to distinguishing things, the host can be passed by RS-232 to control reader and sends radio wave energy. When Tag senses this energy that there is asking the answering machine inside (Transponder) and the mechanism will change power into energy that passes a series of discernment materials giving back to reader and host that are in order to distinguish the things.

When PDA or the cell-phone assigns the order for Reader, reader will transmit RF wave with data out through antenna, Once tags are receiving the information, the tag will backscatter the data with 96-bit EPC C1G2 protocol to Reader through RF mechanism that is built inside, Reader receives after the data that will give PDA or the cell-phone the work of distinguishing which carries on the things. For the wired RS232 interface of entity among PDA, cell-phone and readers, the industrial communication protocols are interchanging in order to reach the data. It is depending on the untouchable RF wave between reader and tag to reach the data to interchange with the communication protocol that is defined by EPC C1G2 User Manual Document ISTCO1 09/14/2009 | 7 of 10 Document Title Handfree Mini Reader Module 4.1 System Structure There are five parts of PDA or the cell-phone for system structures that are including the power, digit, radio frequency, base and FW respectively. 4.1.1 Radio Frequency Circuit This is a transceiver module with ISM of the electromagnetic wave for a transmission and receiving. It is among them transceiver inside that is in transmitter and the receiver fimction as follows:
@ The function of the Transmitter:
The function of the transmitter is controlled and produced the signal carrier by the synthesizer of the microprocessor, The signal that will be modulated in amplitude to be an ASK signal used to offer the power that the tag is used to read data from its memory as well as using the pulse to adjust the way of changing to write the data into the tag The function of the Receiver:
The function in receiving information from tags has been demodulated to several digital signals. The signals are also amplified and straining waves to deal with microprocessor. 4.1.2 The Interface of Power Supplies The power system is offered 3.3V by HANDFREE MINI READER MODULE interface of PDA or the cell-phone with Max. 2A.

The 3 data lines are: Ground, Data Transmit (TX) and Data receive (RX) for UART. The communication header also contains the additional pins which are interfaces for USB or JTAG. Those pins can be used to provide data to another sensor or auxiliary board. The power header pins supplying power to the HANDFREE MINI READER MODULE is 3.3 Volts (and must be low-noise and regulated). A diagram of the pins are given below. Lada 3,6,7,8,12,13 => GND

Photograph of Handfree Mini Reader Module 4.1.4Module Operation The HANDFREE MINI READER MODULE is a single-antenna reader module. The backscatter signal is demodulated to baseband through a standard mixer stage and is filtered and amplified. The baseband signal is then sampled and processed by a microcontroller. User Manual Document Handfree Mini Reader Module ISTCO' oai4i2009 | 9 of 10 The entire RF section of the reader module can be completely turned OFF under software control by the microcontroller. This allows the HANDFREE MINI READER MODULE to consume very low power when in standby mode. During RFID operation, the transmit power of the HANDFREE MINI READER MODULE is 1W, so the total power consumption is 1.8A during the fraction of a second that is required to read the tags in the field. 4.1.5Interfacing with Handfree Mini Reader Module The Handfree Mini Reader Module is designed to interface with another circuit board (i.e. PDA as following photo) and communicate using a simple 3-wire serial interface. However, for testing purposes, it is possible to connect the Handfree Mini Reader Module to a computer using a serial RS-232 adapter. In this case, the Handfree mini Reader module Control Panel software can be used. User Manual Document D t Titl

Please make sure that you have an antenna connected to the reader. The program supplied with the kit is able to interface to all the RFID readers made by Proview. You should open the program (Proview reader control panel), then go to the Reader menu and selected . Then go to the ComPort menu and select the proper COM port where you connected the reader. You should then verify that the BaudRate setting is correct (9600), then you can click the CONNECT button. After you run the program for the first time, the software settings will be saved automatically so you should not need to reconfigure the control program unless you switch to another reader product. ston Control KiLI | Hibiki Protoce nbory (Mini Lin Gh pos Se fest GS] MAMRSSE Aver RSS] NGROFY MemBank WordP tr WordCount
