Abstract: This article shows measured results of the different spectra of different protocols using advanced spectrum analyzers and signal generators. These results allow an understanding of the issues involved and indicate why a change from certain protocols that are currently promoted needs to be made as the industry matures. This paper shows that RFID systems operating in the 860 to 960 MHz UHF bands will have the optimum performance.

Keywords: Radio frequency identification, RFID, radio spectrum
