American RFID Solutions' Handheld Test Instrument

American RFID Solutions, LLC (ARS), releases the RFI Shark Multi-Meter—a new instrument that measures and evaluates read zone performance for all EPC RFID infrastructures. It is designed to assist in designing, installing, and troubleshooting the air interface for an RFID read zone, providing data capture and instantaneous reporting to visualize the RF field or read zone generated by the connected OEM interrogator.

The handheld instrument provides insight into tag visibility via 3-D plots of the radio coverage, histograms of read performance, geodetic plots of read rates, and comprehensive statistics on operational performance. Also included is a wizard mode to simplify the process. The Shark tests actual deployed tags, so the information it provides can be used to assess and optimize mechanical beam tilting, measure the effective antenna aperture, and understand tag performance on the products moving through the read zone in real time.
