Read-only RFID transponder is RF powered

The NCD1015ZP passive cylindrical half-duplex read-only RFID transponder operates at a resonant frequency of 134.2 kHz. The device uses harvested RF energy from a reader and has 64-bits of pre-programmed identification data and a 16-bit CRC error checking code generator. Applications include inventory management, ingress/egress discovery, and real-time container tracking.

The 52.3 x 17 mm transponder supports ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 standards and operates over -20° to 60°C. It responds to an RFID reader by sending a 128-bit packet that contains the stored 64-bit data, a 16-bit CRC-CCITT error checking code, and the overhead bits necessary to ensure transmission recognition. The RF transmission uses a FSK modulation technique where a logic 0 is represented by a 16 cycle burst of 134.2 kHz while a logic 1 uses 124.2 kHz.
