Practical useable read distance values may be notable lower, strongly depending on application set-up,

damping by environment materials and the quality of the matching between tag antenna and chip impedance.

1.2 Collision Arbitration, Anticollision

An intelligent collision arbitration function allows operating more than one label in the filed simultaneously. The

aniticollision algorithm selects each tag individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a

selected tag is performed correctly without data corruption resulting from other tags in the field.

1.3 Data Integrity

The following mechanisms are implemented in the contactless communication link between the interrogator and

the tag ensure very reliable data transmission:

•

16 bit CRC

•

Bit count checking

•

Bit coding to distinguish between “1”, “0” and no information

•

Channel monitoring (protocol sequence and bit stream analysis)

1.4 Air Interface Standards

The SL3ICS30 is fully supporting standardization on air interfaces. The SL3ICS30 is targeted to be compliant

with the following air interfaces:

•

ISO/IEC 18000-4 – Information Technology - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for Item Management –

Part 4: Parameters for Air Interface Communications at 2.45 GHz

•

ISO/IEC 18000-6 – Information Technology - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for Item Management –

Part 6: Parameters for Air Interface Communications at 860 - 930 MHz

•

ANSI/INCITS 256-2001 – Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Part 3 - 2.45 GHz

•

ANSI/INCITS 256-2001 – Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Part 4 - UHF

1.5 Application Standards

The SL3ICS30 is also fully supporting application standardization. The SL3ICS30 is targeted to be compliant

with the following application standards:

•

MH10.8.4 – Radio Frequency Identification for Returnable Containers and Cable Reels

•

AIAG B-11 – Automotive Tire and Wheel Label Radio Frequency (RFID) Identification Standard

•

EAN.UCC GTAG™ – Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Performance Standards Initiative

•

ISO 18185 – Freight Containers -Radio-frequency communication protocol for electronic seal
