7. Measurement Set-Ups
This Section describes typical measurement set-ups to determine transponder relevant data like:
resonant frequency, bandwidth, quality factor, powering field strength and transponder signal field
strength listed in Section 9 "Rocommended Operating Conditions".
7.1 Measurement Set-Up: Resonance frequency, bandwidth, quality factor of transponder
This test set-up is suitable for resonant frequency (fres) measurements as well as the determination
of the -3dB bandwidth (
∆
f) of the transponder. The quality factor Q of the transponder resonance
circuit can be calculated with equation (1):

The wires of the pick-up coil should be very thin to avoid influence on the measurement results (for
example: by damping). The choice of a 1 M
Ω
input resistor at the spectrum analyzer is
recommended. Figure 13 shows the test set-up. The relation between pick-up coil voltage and
frequency is shown in Figure 14.
