Back to Test Engineering ProductsRFID Conformance Test System
The RFID Test System is a conformance test and measurement solution for RFID devices, and is the first instrument in the world with an integrated RFID protocol stack and real-time communication capability to formulate, decode and measure RFID signals per all current EPC and ISO protocols. The system is ideal for users who are performing conformance testing of tags and readers. The system also provides a standard platform for comparing reader or tag performance in field evaluations. With the capability of real-time vector RF signal generation and analysis, the system has the capability to generate and analyze RFID signals per all current RFID standards.

Software
LabVIEW API which allows for customized test development to specific requirements.
Photo (initializer hardware-configure hardware-get command data-load command to hardware – send & acquire RF signals – decode signals – spectrum analysis – time waveform analysis – JTFA analysis – close hardware). The software performs 3 tests. The software package includes: LabVIEW Developer Suite, FPGA, Spectral Measurement Toolkit, modulation toolkit, advanced signal processing tools.
Tag and Reader Testing: tag and reader emulation for testing of individual RFID devices.
- Standard platform for conformance and performance testing of tag and readers.
- Configurable signal, protocol and hardware parameters.
- Provides a high level of graphical analysis capabilities.
- All common RFID test items available in test panel.
Signal Sniffer Testing: analysis’s the interoperability of RFID tags and readers.
- Excellent for product developers, certification labs and protocol conformance test groups.
- Detailed graphical analysis including time waveform, frequency spectrum, raw bit stream, envelope and I vs. Q.
- Includes signal record and playback capabilities.
Pass/Fail Testing with Report Generation: runs a customizable, predefined test sequence which operates the full pass of test case defined by the protocol. A pass/fail indication is given for each case, and detailed test reports are generated.
- Currently available for EPC UHF Class 1 Gen 2 V1.0.5. Additional protocols available upon request.
- Tests conformance, performance and interoperability.
- Excellent for R&D, conformance and production testing
- Utilizes TestStand for automated test sequencing.
