FEATUREDESCRIPTION

Ultra-compact without quality compromiseFits very small objects normally challenging for
RFID (9mm x 12mm antenna)

Application on very small items

Near-field operation only

Enables a very controlled, close proximity readzone

Added security

Can be used adjacent tometallic objects

Extended read-range enabled through appropriate placement adjacent to conductive surfaces.

Greater performance near challenging materials

BENEFIT

Product Overview:
Powered by Alien®’s break-through Higgs™4 UHF RFID IC, the“SIT” is a near-field (aka magnetic or inductive) coupled antenna design, the ALN-9713 delivers industry leading EPC Gen
2 performance and reliability in an ultra compact form factor.
The “SIT” is especially well-suited for very small item-level applications where geometries are critical. The near-field coupling
properties make this tag ideal where read range requirements
are short or for applications on aqueous materials.
An optimized memory footprint includes a 32-bit TID, a 64bit Unique TID for authentication and next generation
serialization applications, a 128-bit EPC memory bank, 128bits of user memory for distributed data applications, andpassword protected read and write support capabilities toprevent unauthorized viewing and modification of the tag’sdata.
ALN-9713 inlays are World Tag compliant, enabling consistent
operation across the diverse frequencies of the Americas,Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

ALN-9713 Inlay Angular Sensitivity
The radiation pattern of the SIT is very dependent on the metallic objects that are in close proximity
to the tag. By itself the SIT does not have a classical radiation pattern. Coupling to the SIT isextremely dependent on the near-field reader antenna used. Since the coupling is mostly magnetic
or inductive one can think of the SIT as a classical coil with one turn. Thus it will couple very well toother coils of similar dimensions.
