Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is rapidly becoming a viable solution for an increasing number of applications. It is now possible to track materials and products across the various stages of the supply chain, from acquisition and inventory to point-of-sale, and beyond. As such, there have been a number of RFID evaluation and development kits, boards, and reference designs becoming available. One such example is the Active Tag Reference Design Kit (ATRDK), developed by Aftek and its partners.

The ATRDK is a comprehensive development platform capable of providing an ideal solution for a wide range of RFID applications. It is comprised of two main components, the Aftek Active Tag hardware and a Flash programmer. The Active Tag is a dual-technology reader that works with both Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) and Radio-Frequency (RF) technology, enabling it to interface with multiple other readers. The integrated flash programmer makes it easy to reflash the Active Tag firmware, allowing for efficient software development.

The ATRDK is well-suited to many applications within the RFID space, such as access control systems, asset tracking, and product authentication. The ATRDK also includes a Visual Basic script generation utility that allows for remote monitoring and tracking of objects. With this, users can monitor and track the movement of an object and receive notifications when it is encountered by a reader. This makes it ideal for applications where a high degree of security or visibility is required.

The working principle of the Active Tag relies on the use of an integrated radio antenna, coupled with a Sensormatic serial interface. This antenna captures the signals transmitted from other readers, and converts them into digital signals, which are then transmitted to the host device. The Sensormatic interface sends and receives the data, acting as a bridge between the computer and the radio antenna. Once the data is received, it can be used to perform a variety of operations, such as reading tags and decoding information.

The ATRDK is an invaluable tool to the development of RFID applications. Its features enable users to quickly and easily perform tasks that would otherwise require complex hardware and software. It also includes a comprehensive suite of documentation and support materials, further easing the development process. Through its advantages, the ATRDK provides a cost-effective solution that can be used to test a variety of RFID applications.
