Test on 13MHz RFID Tag-RLB Test Method

Test on 13MHz RFID Tag-RLB Test Method Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a wireless RF identification system, utilizes radio frequency (electromagnetic sensing, microware, etc.) to conduct the transmission, identification and swapping of wireless information.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a wireless RF identification system, utilizes radio frequency (electromagnetic sensing,microware, etc.) to conduct the transmission, identification and swapping of wireless information. A complete RFID includes electronic tag (Tag), reading device (Reader) and main computer (Host). This application uses RLB to test the common 13MHz RFID Tag. This test method can also be applied for production line to rapidly compare the result with Golden Sample.

The Basic Understanding of the Test

The test method of RFID Tag utilizes RLB and RFID Tag fixture. After connecting TG, fixture and RF terminal, normalize the signal and place DUT at the center of fixture to obtain Tag's frequency range.

Illustration of Curve

This test method aims at obtaining the Return Loss data of DUT to find out its main operating frequency. The amplitude difference under TG Normalize line is the real test difference.

Required Equipment

GSP-9330 / GSP-9300B

Option 01: Tracking Generator

RLB-001: 1GHz Return Loss Bridge GKT-003: RLB Kit

GW RFID Tag Fixture

ADP-001 : N(M)-BNC(F) Adapter

Test Procedures

1.Connect TG, RF, RLB-001 and RFID Fixture

2.Activate GSP-9330 TG function

3. Execute TG Normalize

4.Connect DUT (RFID Tag)

5.Use Min.Peak Search to obtain the frequency of the lowest amplitude

Voltage Drop and Sudden Power Output Loss in Factory Rooftop Solar Systems: 4 Warning Signs Requiring Investigation

When a factory equipped with a rooftop solar array experiences a sudden drop in power output, it often sparks a dispute between the facility's electrical team and the solar installation contractor, with each side prone to blaming the other. The quickest way to resolve such a conflict is to accurately interpret the signs on-site—avoiding guesswork and refraining from hastily blaming the solar panels.

Mastering Open-Circuit Voltage (Voc) and Short-Circuit Current (Isc) Testing for Solar Panels: An Engineer's Standard

A solar panel reports a drop in output, yet the entire array continues to operate normally where does the fault lie? The answer often becomes apparent the moment a field engineer measures two fundamental parameters: open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc). These two figures make it possible to isolate faults whether in the panel itself, the wiring, or the charge controller without needing to disconnect the entire string from the system. This article details the standard engineering measurement procedure and explains how to interpret the results, eliminating guesswork when troubleshooting panel issues.
