*What is RFID? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a system that transmits and receives electromagnetic waves or radio waves between RF tags and RFID readers (reading devices), allowing for non-contact reading and rewriting of information on RF tags. Common applications of RFID include transportation IC cards, electronic money, and its adoption is progressing in various industries such as manufacturing, distribution, retail, and healthcare. RFID can read multiple RF tags simultaneously as long as they are within the range of radio waves. Therefore, it is gaining attention as a technology that can replace barcodes and QR codes, which require individual scanning. *Features of RFID RFID has excellent features that barcodes do not possess, such as non-contact bulk reading and the ability to read tags that are hidden. On the downside, it can be affected by metals and moisture, and it may read items that do not need to be scanned. Although the cost of RFID tags has been decreasing in recent years, there is still a significant cost difference compared to barcodes. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of each technology and choose the one that fits the challenges and operations you wish to address.

In-circuit testing with a flying probe tester excels at inspecting the electrical characteristics of implemented electronic components in analog circuits. However, components that cannot be probed make electrical testing difficult, and functional testing of digital circuits is challenging. On the other hand, boundary scan testing allows for quick interconnection testing between LSI pins and on-board programming for FPGAs, but it can only test digital circuits around ICs that comply with the boundary scan standard, and it also requires specialized fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures to connect 4 to 5 scan-compatible pins and measuring instruments required for boundary scan testing. This allows for boundary scan testing even when the counterpart of a boundary scan-compliant IC is a non-boundary scan-compliant IC or passive components (such as connectors) by enabling the flying probe to function as a virtual boundary scan cell. With a single flying probe tester, it is possible to conduct comprehensive testing of both digital and analog circuits, thereby significantly enhancing testing efficiency compared to before.

We have created a video explaining the effects of stacking RF tags, and we will publish it. When RF tags are stacked, their communication performance decreases, making stable communication impossible. This is because the antennas of the RF tags overlap, and due to mutual inductance, the resonant frequency of the RF tags shifts towards the lower frequency. The degree of impact on communication performance varies depending on the spacing between the RF tags when stacked and the number of tags stacked. 1. About the principle Explanation of the principle behind the decrease in communication performance when stacking RF tags. 2. Demonstration Operational demonstration explaining the following content: - Stacking RF tags decreases communication performance. - The narrower the spacing between RF tags when stacked, the more communication performance decreases. - The more tags stacked, the greater the decrease in communication performance.
