RI-RFM-008B

The Texas Instruments' low-frequency (LF) reader provides all the functionality required to communicate with Texas Instruments 134.2 kHz LF transponders which are available in a variety of form factors. The RI-RFM-008B radio frequency power module is capable driving the RI-ACC-008B, which then forms the resonant circuit with the antenna. The distance between the antenna - RI-ACC-008B combination and the reader (RI-RFM-008B + control module) can be extended up to 120 meters when connected by a symmetrical twinax cable.

The RI-RFM-008B radio frequency power module is capable driving a variety of antennas with extended inductance ranges from 8H to 80H including TI standard antennas RI-ANT-G01E, RI-ANT-G02E, RI-ANT-G04E gate antennas as well as RI-ANT-S01C and RI-ANT-S02C stick antennas. The RI-RFM-008 is designed to be connected to control modules RI-CTL-MB2A (RS232 interface) or RI-CTL-MB6A (RS422/485 interface) which provide the interface to connect a host system, power supply connectors and additional I/O's. The RI-RFM-008B module in combination with a control module and the RI-ACC-008B is well suited for usage in a broad range of applications including, but not limited to, access control, vehicle dentification, container
tracking, asset management and waste management applications.

The RI-RFM-008B High Performance Remote Antenna RFM together with the Antenna Tuning Module supports he use of antennas installed at a distance of up to 120 meters. It is the interface between the 134.2 kHz DX/FSK transponder and the Data Processing Unit. It sends an energizing signal to the transponder, odulates the RF signal to send data to the transponder, receives the identification signal and processes RI-RFM-008B for igital decoding.
