10.2 Glossary, Standard Basics, and Abbreviations

Amplitude Modulation

A method of combining an information signal and a RF carrier with a different

voltage level assigned to a digital 0 and 1.

Antenna

A radio frequency transducer.

Antenna de-tuning

Relative to RFID implementations, the reduction in the amount of energy that

is available to power a tag or the reduction of the amplitude of the signal

reaching the reader due to the environment.

Anticollision

See collision avoidance. Collision avoidance algorithm. RFID interrogator

firmware that intercepts multiple simultaneous tag signals, sorts responses

and initiate a communication protocol to sequentially collect the information.

Frequency

The number of repetitions of a complete waveform in a specific period of

time.1 kHz equals 1,000 complete waveforms in one second. 1 MHz equals

one million waveforms per second.
