6 Antenna Setup
CS468-2INT is a 16 port reader where the ports are switched on in time
one by one. At any time only 1 port is switched on and the RF power comes
out only at that port. The rest of the ports are turned off so that no energy
comes out from the other ports.
The control logic of the antenna is shown as below table

Appendix A. RFID Basics
Passive tag RFID technology involves the reader, the antenna and the tag.
The reader sends out energy in the relevant frequency band to the antenna via RF cables, and
the antenna radiates the energy out. This energy impinges on an RFID tag.
The RFID tag consists of an antenna coupled to an RFID IC. This IC converts the AC voltage
it receives at the antenna port to DC voltage that in turn is used to empower the digital circuit
inside.
The digital circuit then turns on and off some components connected to the antenna port,
thereby changing its scattering behavior, in a pre-designed clock rate.
This changing of antenna port parameters then causes a “modulation” of the back-scattered RF
energy.
This modulated back-scattered energy is detected by the reader and the modulation is captured
and analyzed.
