摘要:
A near field antenna is disclosed which is configured to read an RFID label such that a localized electric E field emitted by the antenna at an operating wavelength resides substantially within a zone defined by the near field. The localized E field directs a current distribution along an effective length of the antenna corresponding to a half-wave to a full-wave structure.

An Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) tag and method and system for deactivating EAS tags without the need to physically contact the tag with a deactivation device. The EAS tag replaces the conventional diode with a non-linear device such as a metal-oxide-semiconductor (“MOS”) capacitor with a given breakdown voltage threshold. Inducing a predetermined voltage across the MOS capacitor results in destruction of the MOS capacitor rendering the EAS tag undetectable in the EAS interrogation system.

An integrated electronic article surveillance (EAS) and radiofrequency identification (RFID) marker is provided which a semiconductor device which may he coupled to an antenna for receiving and retransmitting energy and signals to the antenna. A current receiving front end section of the semiconductor device communicates with at least one other section of the device so more than one function can be implemented upon receiving and retransmitting energy and signals. A first switch is operatively coupled to the front end section such that the functions are entirely but reversibly disabled upon closure of the first switch thereby effecting a reversible EAS function. A second switch is operatively coupled to the front end section such that at least one of the functions is at least partially disabled upon closure of the second switch. RFID functions of the marker am retained upon EAS deactivation.
摘要:
A single antenna transmits and receives signals. The single antenna has first and second antenna loops substantially lying in a common plane and partially overlapping. First and second transceiver circuits are coupled to the first and second antenna loops respectively, for respectively generating in a first mode of operation first and second pulsed magnetic fields together defining an interrogation zone for a marker generating a characteristic response to the magnetic fields in the interrogation zone, and for receiving signals from the interrogation zone in a second mode of operation. The first and second transceiver circuits alternately generate the first and second magnetic fields substantially in phase with one another and substantially out of phase with one another. The partially overlapping antenna loops prevent detuning of the transceivers otherwise resulting from the phase alternating. Each of the first and second transceiver circuits has a phase controllable transmitter section and a phase controllable receiver section. A controller independently phase controls the transmitter and receiver sections. Each receiver section is coupled across the tuned circuit of its respective transceiver circuit.
摘要:
A marker for use in a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance (EAS) system is made by mounting a magnetostrictive element in a housing adjacent to a biasing element that is magnetized to a degree of magnetization that is less than saturation. The resonant frequency of the marker is detected. If the detected resonant frequency does not match a predetermined operating frequency of the EAS system, the degree of magnetization of the biasing element is adjusted so as to tune the resonant frequency of the marker to the predetermined operating frequency.
