RFID and UHF-RFID

[kylebuttress]

Hello,

I have both the RFID RC522 unit and UHF-RFID unit. I can easily configure the RC522 to read tags and cards and return the relevant tag id etc. However when I try with the UHF-RFID no information is returned.

I'm not sure If need specific types of tags for the UHF-RFID.

Any Pointers would be fantastic.

regards

Kyle

what controller are you using?

UHF-RFID use a different frequency so a standard smart tag will not work.
RFID RC522 (most common for smart tags): 13.56MHz
UHF RFID (long range): 860 to 960 MHz

There are even more RFID frequencies like 125kHz, 134kHz... depending on the application and the country where it will be used.

thanks for the update this will help. I'm sure. I will find some tags in the higher range and test again

thanks
