Technologies Used
RFID tags for metal surfaces use advanced design techniques to ensure reliable performance:
- Anti-Interference Substrates: Foam, ferrite, or ceramic layers isolate the tag from metal reflection
- Tuned Antennas: Optimized to exploit or neutralize metals reflective properties
- Spacer Design: Creates a gap between the tag and metal to prevent detuning
- UHF Protocols (ISO 18000-6C): Most common for long-range, high-speed reads
