Automated Test System for ISO 18000-7 - Active RFID

When testing a system for compliance to a standard or interoperability with other systems compliant with a standard, the quality and repeatability of the testing methods is critical. This is especially true when the results are used to make a purchasing decision. The ideal test procedure will expose every device that is tested to the exact same stimuli, record the same measurements and evaluate those measurements using the same method. To this end the University of Pittsburgh RFID Center of Excellence has developed an automated test suite for testing compliance to and interoperability under ISO 18000-7, a leading active RFID standard. This automated system provides consistent input stimuli to all device and ensures that all results are calculated using the same method.
