Radio wave
A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave used to transmit information and energy wirelessly. It provides the physical basis that allows RFID systems to identify objects without contact. Depending on the frequency range, the surrounding environment and the materials involved, signal transmission can vary in stability and the read range can change. Metal, liquids and sources of interference can weaken, deflect or overlap radio waves. The correct design of the antenna, frequency and installation situation therefore has a major influence on detection quality. A well-matched radio wave supports reliable automatic identification at gates, conveyor lines and workstations.
