Abstract:
1. A radio frequency identification tag reading/writing station adapted to be used with a radio frequency identification tag reader/writer in order to read/write radio frequency identification tags on a continuous web of carrier material, said radio frequency identification tag reading/writing station comprising: a first waveguide to coax adaptor; a second waveguide to coax adapter; a window assembly having a window therein, said window being sized and shaped such that a tag on the web of carrier material under test is exposed to radio frequency read/write energy, but such that tags on the web of carrier material adjacent to the tag under test are shielded from the radio frequency read/write energy; and wherein said first waveguide to coax adapter and said second waveguide to coax adapter are disposed end-to-end with said window assembly being disposed therebetween.
