The anti-tearing: concept and mechanismsTearing and Anti-tearing A contactless smart card is an electronic object without its own power source. It operates only when it is remote-powered by the RF field of the reader. But the user holding the card can at any time move it away from the reader. This is called tearing. The power source that operates the chip is inherently weak because the user can make it disappear at any time. If the power source disappears while the chip is[…] -
All about the anti-collision mechanisms !What is anti-collision ? Most of the RFID systems, including contactless cards at 13.56MHz and NFC, are based on the RTF principle, Reader Talk First. When it is looking for a card, the reader sends periodically research frames and every card receiving a research frame answers by transmitting its ID. But what happens when two card -or more- are present in the readers field ? They are going to answer at the same time at the research[…] -
