Transponder Reader – CF-Card, Release 1.1
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About this Device
The BROOKS Transponder Reader System is a high-frequency
identification system that uses FM transmission.
The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic
identity disk.
The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the
antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is
charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal
with the stored data.
The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
As a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not
absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through
non-metallic material.
The BROOKS CF-Card Transponder Reader is a device to read and
write to TIRIS transponder. The card can be used in connection with a
notebook or a PDA.
