14、tromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). Introduction RFID for item management is an emerging technology applicable in all areas of daily life, business, industry, and manufacturing. The inductive, industrial RFID applications are mainly found in assembly and manufacturing lines;

15、warehouses; chemical, automotive, semiconductor and chip manufacturing areas; machine tooling; construction; transport; medical; and in a variety of other applications. Nearly all applications in this field use passive tags. In some applications, tags use a battery for power supply back-up in case t

16、he powering field strength is too low for excitation by the interrogator field strength. Because of cost reasons, such battery tag applications are often limited to reusable tags which also have to be more robust. This means that the tag size is considerably larger. The passive tags as well as reade

17、r antennas are normally restricted to very small sizes. In conjunction with special small-size, read-heads, the system does not only provide the read/write function of determining the code of the object and retrieving data content, but very often allows for the position-sensing and tracing of the ob

18、jects. The read-write function allows for information, such as date of handling or the treatment of a certain process, or the required next process steps, etc. to be written onto the tag. The choice of the frequency is vital to meet the performance and market requirements. Industrial RFID systems fo

19、r various applications are limited by many restrictions related to the physical size requirements, hence component restrictions, and also environmental and longevity requirements for the needed application. One of the constraints is the in-plant or cross-applicational pollution, which may occur, for

20、 instance, if several different RFID systems would operate on the same frequency in the LF or HF ranges (as defined by the ITU Radio Regulations 3) in close vicinity at one production site. They would interfere especially in view of the high field strength levels at which these systems operate. DC o

21、r LBT 8 techniques in industrial systems (needed for operation in the LF or HF band), would not work because of the high speed of object movement on conveyor belts and the required continuous high speed data tran 3 smission. LBT would interrupt the process flow unacceptably. For industrial RFIDs, te

22、chnology using the MF frequency range (as defined by the ITU 3) has proven to yield adequate performance with high data rates, efficient powering with small antennas or read-heads and tags, low field strength levels, and the functionality in all critical applications and environmental conditions. Th

23、ey have been in use globally for some time without record of interference problems. Countries where systems are in wide use include: the Americas, Japan, and other Far East countries, as well as a number of European countries, such as Germany, Finland, UK, Sweden, and many others based on individual

24、 approvals. The frequency range and bandwidth requirement is around 550 kHz with bandwidths from 50 kHz up to 200 kHz. ETSI ETSI TR 102 378 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 5 1 Scope The present document provides information on RFID systems including applications, technical parameters, and radio spectrum requiremen

25、ts for RFID equipment operating in the MF frequency band from 400 kHz to 600 kHz. The scope is limited to RFID systems for industrial applications. Most of the applications are in indoor installations. The RFID systems use inductive SRD technology covered by the harmonized standard, EN 300 330-2 2.

36、lications, functionality, and basic requirement for a regulation for industrial RFID systems in the frequency range 400 kHz to 600 kHz, especially in view of the large market impact. The proposed regulation would provide an indispensable solution for all areas of the industry, as described in annex

37、A. ETSI expects the proposed regulations in table 6.1 to be compatible with the services operating in the frequency range of 400 kHz to 600 kHz without causing harmful interference. This is supported by: a) the preliminary compatibility studies show for the MF frequency range under discussion calcul

38、ated protection distances in the order of 25 m or lower; ETSI ETSI TR 102 378 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 7 b) the absence of interference in a large number of installations in many countries which operate virtually continuously over a number of years and which confirms the theoretical calculations by ECC-SE24

39、; c) the location of the described MF RFID installations in non-public, industrial sites and primarily indoor installations, which are considered as additional mitigation factors. The ECC-WGFM is already considering a generic level of -5dBA/m in the LF and MF range up to 1 600 kHz in an amendment of

40、 an draft annex 9 of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 1. This was reviewed by WGFM and sent to SRDMG for revision of the levels in the LW BC bands of 148,5 kHz to 285 kHz. The technical characteristics of the MF RFID systems will not require new ETSI standards since the systems are compatible with the

41、EN 300 330-2 2 as well as the recently proposed amendments to it. 4.1 Status of the present document ERM-TG28 approved V1.1.1_1.1.1. The version V1.1.1_1.1.2 incorporates minor editorials and was circulated for approval by correspondence within ERM-RM. Version V1.1.1_2.1.1 has been approved by ERM-R

42、M, submitted to ECC-WGFM and SRD-MG for consideration, and submitted to ERM#25 for approval for publication. 4.2 Market information For detailed market information, see annex A. 4.3 Technical system description For detailed technical information, see annex B. 5 Current regulations CEPT/ERC Recommend

43、ation 70-03 1 covers LF frequency regulations in the range up to 148,5 kHz and HF regulations for 6,78 MHz and 13,56 MHz for RFID for inductive technologies. For the applications of the present document, the ERC/Rec 70-03 were recently amended. CEPT WGSE is currently studying a generic limit for sho

44、rt range devices up to 30 MHz. A revision of annex 9 of ERC/Recommendation 70-03 1 has been published for the level of -5dBA/m at 10 m for the range of 148,5 to 1 600 kHz.

Many other countri

46、es allow these systems individually. The regulations of the U.S.A. and Japan also have regulations in place, these can be found in: U.S.A.: FCC: CFR 47, Part 15, Section 15.209 7.

47、 ETSI TR 102 378 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 8 6 Main conclusions The industrial RFID systems present a basic requirement for society and the functioning of the industrial infrastructure. Industrial RFID systems have been deployed for a number of years and in many highly industrialized countries with no interf

48、erence problems on record. Calculated protection distances of the preliminary draft report for the MF range are in the order of 23 m to 11 m - depending on the degradation level - which should suffice for compatibility in the scenarios for industrial and mostly indoor applications. 7 Expected ETSI a

49、nd ECC actions ECC- WGSE to complete the compatibility report in stating that the min. bandwidth of 30 kHz for the range of 300 to 1 600 kHz is allowed at a level of -5 dBA/m at 10 m.
