4.3 Selectivity
The high selectivity of the low-range antennas opens up a number of new UHF
RFID applications that could not be implemented previously� Both versions can
individually read tags with distances of partly less than 5 cm� They are therefore
the ideal antennas for item level tagging applications�

5 Conformity with standards
Since the RFID systems are radio systems, they are in the scope of the 1999/5/EC
guideline of the European Commission (Radio and Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment R&TTE)�
