5 Regulatory Information

5.1 Federal Communications Commission

Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one of the following measures:

z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept

any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm

between the radiator & your body.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter. This product must be installed by a professional

technician/installer.

Appendix A. RFID Basics

Passive tag RFID technology involves the reader, the antenna and the tag.

The reader sends out energy in the relevant frequency band to the antenna via RF cables, and

the antenna radiates the energy out. This energy impinges on an RFID tag.

The RFID tag consists of an antenna coupled to an RFID IC. This IC converts the AC voltage

it receives at the antenna port to DC voltage that in turn is used to empower the digital circuit

inside.

The digital circuit then turns on and off some components connected to the antenna port,

thereby changing its scattering behavior, in a pre-designed clock rate.

This changing of antenna port parameters then causes a “modulation” of the back-scattered RF

energy.

This modulated back-scattered energy is detected by the reader and the modulation is captured

and analyzed.
