Traditional RFID sensor setup

Information can be transmitted over considerable distances

TuntoID™ enables the creation of wireless RFID tags with one or more sensors

Based on cost efficient RFID and MEMS components

Smart component layout eliminates the need for AD conversion, which leads to a reduction in power consumption enabling a long reading distance

Based on measurement value, the sensor and oscillator change the frequencies of the backscatter signal

Description of TuntoID™ technologyThe Sensor measurement is modulated on top of an RFID Unique ID by using tolerances of communication spec EPC gen 2 / ISO 18000-63 for devices operating in the UHF range 860 MHz to 960 MHz. The modulation uses the tolerances of the backscatter link frequency.

How the new Sensor RFID innovation works APPENDIX no 1

• Adding the sensor behind the RFID chip and using it to change the frequencies of backscattered signal gives an additional communication level on top of standard RFID

• A good oscillator also provides better backscatter signal → more distance

• Scarce power is not used for A/D transformation of signal or memory write operations. This gives better readout distance compared to current RFID sensor solutions

Standard compatibility

40kHz 100kHz 160kHz 200kHz 250kHz 300kHz 320kHz 400kHz

Variation of ±2.5% allowed during reading

Typically readers support only 256, 320 and 640 kHz modulation frequencies.

Variation of ±10% allowed during handshaking

APPENDIX no 2

The ISO 18000-6C (and EPC Gen2) standard defines 40 - 640kHz modulation frequency for tag to reader communication.

• However the base frequency tolerance before backscatter is much higher. Depending on selected link frequency the tolerance can be: ±15% in 640kHz, ±10% in 320kHz, ±10% in 256kHz, ±4% in 40kHz.

• This frequency has a tolerance of ±2.5% during backscatter.
