Silicon chip Alien Higgs3• Read sensitivity of -20dBm – Best performing among UHF Gen 2 RFID chips• Total 800bits memory – EPC 96bits (extensible to 480bits), User 512bits, TID 64 bits,Access& Kill password each 32bits and Lock password 64bits• Most widely adopted chip for metal mounting UHF RFID tags
• RFcamp has adopted Alien Higgs3 since year of 2008.
www.alientechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/ALC-360%20Higgs3%202014-12-21.pdf

Antenna PCB FR4, Copper etched, Gold plated• FR4 (Fire retardant 4, composed of woven fiberglass cloth with an epoxy resinbinder) – Most stable and widely applied antenna materials in recent 30 years
worldwide, with highest durability and consistent electrical property• Copper etched antenna has much higher accuracy with lower tolerance thanaluminum etched antenna and conductive ink printed antenna, which makes tag
performance more consistent with lower read range variance.
• Gold is plated on chip bonded area of copper etched antenna, in order to enhancechip adhesion on antenna as well as electrical interconnection with antenna.

[2] Strip Dimensions
T=3.1mm

Packaging Double layer PCBs, laminated under high temperature and pressure• Tag antenna has convoluted structure of two or three layers with copper groundplane, so tag is composed of double layer PCBs, tightly combined and laminatedunder high pressure and temperature of 200℃ for >2 hours.
• Many tag makers copy TITANTAG™ in appearance, but they can not copy tags’
durability and read consistency.
• Surface of PCBs is coated with TOYO (black) PSR, best of kind which can protect itagainst electrical stress and water ingression.

Chip bonding Wire bonded, aluminum or gold
• Unlike other tag makers using flip chip bonding or chip soldering, RFcamp has
adopted wire bonding technology since year of 2004.
• Wire bonding, though most complicated and expensive chip bonding method, ismost stable in electrical interconnection and most durable in mechanical andtemperature stresses. It, with highest precision, is also best fit for working on
complicated antenna patterns of double layer PCBs.

•STRIP reads up to 2.0 meters on metal, 20% shorter than SMALLEST, but double of
INCH. It is recognized best performing among 6mm slim UHF metal tags.
•Its read performance varies upon tag location, orientation, direction, RFenvironments, etc. It performs best when tag is attached on metal surface without
any space or backing adhesive layer between. As space or backing adhesive gets
thicker, read performance lowers. For example, 1mm thick 3M VHB adhesive tapedecreases read range by 20% whereas 0.05mm thick 3M 300LSE tape does notdecrease it at all.

895900905910

915920925930935940•STRIP reads same, with exactly the same sensitivity curve, regardless of whether it isfastened with metal bolt in two holes (located on both ends) or not. Stainless steel M3bolt with round head is best fit for STRIP.

*dBm : Minimum power tag needs in order to respond to RFID reader.

4[6] Strip Options• Chip encoding service• Backing adhesive•Encodes EPC memory sector only*.
•Encodes tags with 4 multiple digits - from 16 bits (4 digits decimal or hex or ASCII)
up to 480 bits (120 digits decimal or hex or ASCII) - upon customers’ request.
•Unless requested by customer, all tags are encoded with 24 digits decimal (Date 8
digits + Serial 16 digits), before shipped to customers. For example, code
201508140000000000001278 tells that tag was 1278th encoded on August 14, 2015.
•Tag code can be permanently locked with password of 8 digits decimal or hex, uponcustomer’s request.

•Unless requested otherwise, RFcamp recommends and applies 3M468MP or
3M9472LE (Aka. 3M300LSE) double sided adhesive tapes for general applications.
For harsh environments, RFcamp recommends 3M VHB tapes.
• For stronger adhesion, RFcamp suggests glue solutions such as Cemedine’s Super X
or Loctite’s double compound epoxies.
• For special solution, please ask RFcamp.

* For special encoding service (e.g. TID to EPC or user memory encoding), please ask RFcamp.

• Label& printing service•Provides fast and reasonably priced
custom label service with printing
variable data, barcode and logo.
•Label material is water proof and “hardto tear off” polysynthetic.

• Laser engraving& direct printing service•With CO2 laser, tag surface isprecisely and permanently etched
into variable data, barcode andlogo with black and yellow
contrast.
• With silk screen printing or pad
printing method, tag surface ispermanently printed with variouscolored logo or text.

• Fasteners& brackets•For some small TITANTAGs,
metal fastener may adversely
affect tag read performance, so
please ask RFcamp for suitablesolution.
•Upon customer’s request,
RFcamp develops metal based
brackets for special applications,with optimal tag performance.

• Encapsulations•For special environment
requiring enhanced chemical
durability, RFcamp applies special
coating materials over tag.
•Upon customer’s
request, RFcamp develops
injection molded ruggedized caseor rubber (polyurethane orsilicone) based encapsulation.
