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 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
