How far can an RFID reader read?

How far can an RFID reader read?

Generally speaking RFID tag maximum read distances are as follows: 125 kHz. and 134.3 kHz. Low Frequency (LF) Passive RFID Tags -read distance of 30 cm (1 foot) or less – usually 10 cm (4 inches) unless you are using a very large tag which can have a read distance of up to 2 meters when attached to metal.

Can NFC read UHF RFID?

Sorry, Carl, that’s currently impossible, as there are no smartphones that contain an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) reader. Some phones, such as Samsung’s Nexus S model, have a Near-Field Communication (NFC) reader in it. NFC is a short-range RFID technology that enables phones to read NFC tags.

Can my phone be used as RFID tag? Yes, you can use your phone as RFID tag. For Android or Windows phones you enable NFC. Nowadays, the smart phone can be used as RFID tag as well.

How does the read range of a RFID reader change?

Check your reader’s settings to see how much transmit power you are transmitting (in dB); the higher the number, the more you’ll increase read range, and vice-versa. It is important to note that, because the power is measured in decibels (dB), the power will double (or be cut in half) for every 3 dB you increase (or decrease).
