Just have a look at the latest innovation from CISC Semiconductor dubbed as CISC RFID Tag Emulator. This approach comes up with a different technique for testing, analyzing and verifying RFID system installations and readers. The heart of the Emulator is a powerful multi core processor unit which is based on Field Programmable Gate Array and the sensor modules are connected to the emulation tool.




User stands to benefit as they will be able to set various tag parameters as per the intended application and the emulated tags could be fully controlled and adjusted as per parameters decided upon. The performance and timing parameters can be adjusted to match different situations. Not only common test scenarios but even reader evaluation at the edge of specifications can be achieved. If it had been the normal RFID tags evaluation would have been difficult since borderline parameters could not be adjusted in this case. What else the Emulator can even imitate complex standards such as EPCglobalTM Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID Protocol and even upcoming protocols. Looks pretty good to me!!
