RFID+ Study Guide and Practice Exam

| Exam Objectives | What It Really Means |
|---|---|
| 7.1 Given a scenario, demonstrate how to read blueprints (e.g., whole infrastructure) | Understand that blueprints are both input and output of the site analysis. You must understand what information you can find in a blueprint to start the site analysis, and what information you should enter into the blueprint after finishing your site analysis. |
| 7.3 Given a scenario, analyze environmental conditions end-to-end | Understand what is included in the physical environmental analysis of the site. |
| 7.2 Determine sources of interference | Know the different types and sources of EM noise and interference. You must know what the ambient EM noise (AEN) is and how to measure it. You must know the spectrum analyzer can be sued to measure AEN and interference. You should also know which variables are affected by the interferences and what are the possible solutions. |
The RFID system that you are designing will most probably be installed in an already existing infrastructure that contains other systems and devices. You need to determine how this RFID system will fit into that existing site infrastructure. For this reason, a site analysis is required before you finalize the RFID system design and before you install the RFID system. To aid you in this task, you can use a blueprint to visualize the site's physical infrastructure. You will need to analyze the site's physical infrastructure and RF environment to find appropriate locations for the interrogation zones or to mark the planned interrogation zones.
