The BROOKS RFID Reader LF80C ZeniD is a high-frequency identification
system that uses FM transmissions.
The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic
identity disk.
The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna.
The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is charged by this
impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data.
The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
Since a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not
absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-
metallic material.
The data received by the RFID reader is transmitted to the host computer
via a serial interface.
