Model of an RFID System

An RFID system consists of two main parts: The reader antenna generates an electromagnetic field that energizes a chip (IC-circuit) inside the tag. The electromagnetic field is modulated by the tag’s circuit and the modulated signal is recovered by the reader antenna.

This example illustrates the modeling of such a reader-transponder pair for radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications.

The model uses the Magnetostatics application mode to compute the mutual inductance between the reader and transponder antennas.
