    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.rfidtoys.net/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=1">amal</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 1056<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 08 May 2012 at 6:52pm<br /><br />Sorry for the late reply... I lost track of this thread. Some UHF readers can adjust their frequency (but still remain firmly in UHF territory) to try to avoid various sources of interference from different kinds of equipment. Being able to adjust the frequency the reader operates at is a way to mitigate the effects of this interference, as well as avoid interfering with other devices that are operating in the 900MHz spectrum. Some readers can intelligently scan the spectrum from time to time and automatically adjust it's frequency in response to these kinds of interference issues, which is a preferred mode of operation.<div><br></div><div>However, there are readers that use a "scan range" approach. They don't employ any intelligence, but instead continuously adjust their own operating frequency&nbsp;essentially&nbsp;scanning through the entire operational range looking for tags. This is the "shotgun" approach to RFID, in which the entire frequency range is dominated by a single device. By hitting every single possible frequency within it's configurable range, the reader doesn't care if there is another device operating at 912.68MHz, it will bulldoze right through that frequency range every few seconds (or less). While the reader is using 912.68MHz to scan for tags, it will be interfering with the other device using that frequency, and it will not likely be able to talk to tags very well at that frequency. No matter though, the reader will just hop to the next frequency and try again. It's a very "dirty" way to operate a reader.</div><div><br></div><div>There is one positive reason for a frequency scanning UHF reader, and that is in situations where there are no other devices operating in the 900MHz spectrum, but there are other interference issues like metal or liquids in the area, either from equipment or walls or whatever else there might be in the way. A frequency range approach helps mitigate these interference issues by trying many different frequencies, which all behave slightly differently when&nbsp;propagating&nbsp;through the same space and&nbsp;bouncing&nbsp;off the same walls. One wall might contain materials that reflect 913.456MHz but pass 910MHz just fine. A metal shelving system might interfere with 912MHz but be fine with 915MHz. It's hard to tell what kinds of interference issues might cause&nbsp;reliability&nbsp;problems in warehouse or manufacturing environments, so being able to simply scan an entire range of frequencies to get the maximum range and reliability out of your reader can be a good thing when used in controlled situations.</div>]]>

What's the advantage of using single frequency over frequency rane?<div>I mean the readers I have got the option to change working frequency from 902MHz to 928MHz. I can either select a range for e.g. 910MHz to 915MHz or single working frequency for e.g. 915MHz for a reader so I wanted to know the difference between these two.</div><div>Will using single frequency increase signal strength and reading range of reader?</div>]]>

Apparently in "G2 tag operation", it means 2 bytes or 16 bits. Odd then that a 4 or 8 word IDs could mean 64bit or&nbsp;128bit IDs.<div><br></div><div>I'm sticking to the idea that to speed things along, you should try to get a spec doc from your supplier for the tags you're reading.</div>]]>

Unless it is a special tag with a randomizer component built in, the TID should not change.]]>

I used another Invengo XC2900 handheld reader to check that tag and found out it is also showing only first 16 characters for TID even though it has the option of changing data length just like DL6940. I changed data length to 12 but it had no effect.]]>
