A processing device with an isolation system using ferrites or short-circuiting elements to confine electromagnetic waves, preventing interference between adjacent radio tags during testing by physically isolating the chip in the cavity from others outside.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If radio tags are tested in close proximity at high speed, then productivity is improved, but electromagnetic interference between adjacent tags increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the testing space into isolated segments using a cavity structure. Each cavity acts as an independent testing chamber that segments the electromagnetic field, preventing interference between adjacent tags while allowing continuous high-speed processing through multiple cavities.
Solution Approach 2:
Ferrite materials are introduced as intermediary substances between the tags and the testing environment. These ferrite components absorb and dissipate electromagnetic energy, acting as a mediator that reduces harmful electromagnetic interference while allowing the testing process to continue at high speed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If grounding is applied to untested RFID tags to prevent interference, then electromagnetic interference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes the need for complex grounding systems by using cavity isolation instead. The cavity structure naturally provides electromagnetic isolation without requiring additional grounding components, simplifying the overall device architecture while maintaining interference reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the electromagnetic parameters within the cavity by using ferrite materials that alter the magnetic permeability and electromagnetic field distribution. This parameter change allows interference reduction through material properties rather than complex electrical grounding connections.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If capacitive couplers are used to minimize external influences, then electromagnetic interference is reduced, but isolation effectiveness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses composite ferrite materials with specific magnetic and electromagnetic properties to achieve superior isolation. These composite materials combine multiple properties (magnetic permeability, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic absorption) that provide more effective isolation than simple capacitive couplers alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The cavity structure introduces a spatial dimension to isolation by creating a three-dimensional enclosed space rather than relying solely on two-dimensional capacitive coupling. This dimensional approach provides more comprehensive electromagnetic isolation by controlling field propagation in all directions.
