AI Thread Summary
Extending the range of a proximity RFID tag is challenging, particularly with passive tags, which require close proximity to a reader. Suggestions include building a small micropower transmitter to broadcast the tag information, allowing for remote activation. However, concerns arise about signal clarity and how to differentiate the RFID card's signal from background noise. Using an RFID reader to capture the card's contents is essential for this process. Ultimately, achieving a reliable long-range solution for passive RFID tags may require innovative approaches or technology.

Hey guys...not sure if this is possible but is there a way to extend the range of a proximity RFID Tag. I'm looking for a way to broadcast the tag information so i don't have to walk up to the reader with a proximity tag. I'm trying to find a way to open my apartment gate by driving up to it instead of rolling down the window and scanning it. Any ideas?

Build a small micropower transmitter that outputs the rfid codes.
 
How would you be able to pick out the signal from the RFID card?
 
Use an RFID reader to get the card contents.
 
Hi,

Is that a passive or an active tag?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
