In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the difference between storing the drug’s entire dataset of attributes and history on the vial or syringe label vs. storing only a serial number on the label and using that unique number as an identifier to lookup all of the drug’s data in a database. In this post, we’ll build on

RFID reader antennas have both a near field and a far-field. As stated previously, UHF “squiggle” type RFID antennas often are capable of working in both the near and far-fields even though they are generally optimized for far-field communication. UHF RFID tags are generally considered to be the standard for inventory tracking/management so we will focus on UHF RFID tags

When selecting an RFID Tag, there are nearly limitless antenna designs from which to choose. So how do you know which one is the right one for your application? There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” RFID tag antenna. The tag’s antenna design will affect compatibility with reader antennas and effective frequency ranges. It will also
