ID
entification - A method of transmitting data contactless
between a reader and transponders.
Reader:
A device which is able to communicate with transponders using an internal or

the data of a transponder. The received data are transmitted to an external
controller (e.g. PC) via an interface.
Transponder:
Data carrier for RFID applications, available in various models and types.
Raw data:
Complete data content of a transponder - that means ID and additional
information (for example header or trailer).
ID:
Identification number of a transponder.
ISO 11784/85:
International standard concerning the use of RFID technology for the
identification of animals; it defines the transponder types to be supported and
the ID notation.
FDX:
Transponder type, which transmits its data while the RF field is activated (full
duplex) using AM (Amplitude Modulation).
FDX-B:
FDX transponder with 128 bits of raw data, ID notation in compliance with ISO
11784/85.
HDX:
Transponder type, which transmits its data after RF field switches off (half
duplex) using FSK (Frequency Shift Keying); 104 bits of raw data, ID notation
in compliance with ISO 11784/85.
