Manual ACM 9 - ARE i9 release Version: 05 Page: 43 / 45 4. System implementation 4.1 Power supply SEMI industry uses hdx LF RFID technology. This particular method relies on field gaps, where the RFID field is switched off. In this gap the transponder answers with its code. This method has the advantage of high read range in laboratory conditions. However, in a EMV polluted environment, read range of hdx transponders is significantly reduced as even low noise signals have a direct impact on read range.
