Hi all,
I really need to hear opinions and suggestions.
I'm a computer science student at the American University in Cairo, Egypt (AUC). We are going to implement an RFID system as a senior project for next semester.. this will be due at the end of May. We are going to develop a system for a store (on a small scale). We'll have two shelves, with each shelf having certain amount of items. We need these items to be detected at a 1 meter range (we wanted it to be at a 2 - 3 meters but that seems to be impossible with our budget, which is $1000). Is that distance possible in the HF range... I've only seen really expensive HF readers that read up to a range of 40 cm. max.
NOW, is it possible to purchase some tags, and 2 RF readers with that range (1 meter) with the budget of $1000. If not, is it possible to design an RF reader (I know it is, but I'm not an electronic engineer)? If I do design the RF reader, will it be able to read multiple tags? How about anti collision, will I need to implement it with software?
PLEASE HELP US!
