Skye Plus MXH rfid as a feature 13.56MHz HF Multiplexer A P P L I C AT I O N S : Product Overview The SkyePlus MXH expands an HF readers capability by adding support for up to Retail Item-Level Management 8 antennas. Digital control of the MXH is accomplished by either the host processor Manufacturing Lines or reader module allowing any of the 8 antennas to be explicitly addressed using 3 GPIO pins. Additional multiplexers can be added to increase the number of antennas Other Multiple a module can support beyond 8 presenting a scalable solution. Read-Point Applications Low Insertion loss: < 0.7 dB : F E AT U R E S Isolation: 45 dB Minimum Control Voltage: CMOS/TTL levels Low Insertion Loss Congurable as 4 Way or 8 Way About SkyePlus MXH Added Flexibility The MXH can be equipped with 4 or 8 antenna ports depending on the application requirements. Infrastructure costs are reduced by using the MXH to minimize the Excellent Signal Integrity number of readers required to support multiple read-points.
