Transmit power

Transmit power refers to the strength with which an RFID reader emits electromagnetic energy for communication with tags. It affects how reliably objects are detected and how large the read range is under real operating conditions. The RFID antenna, the installation situation and physical influences from the surrounding area are also important factors. If the value is set too high or too low, detection quality can deteriorate and unwanted reads may be encouraged. For this reason, this parameter is always adjusted to suit the application and the mounting location. The correct adjustment enables stable automatic detection at gates, conveyor lines and workstations.
