1 I NTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 About this Device The BROOKS Transponder Reader System is a high-frequency identification system that uses FM transmission. The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic identity disk. The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data.
