Abstract
A simulated RFID tag may be combined with other such tags to form a population of simulated tags. A method of testing an RFID reader includes providing at least one population of simulated RFID tags; configuring tags in the at least one population of simulated RFID tags; and querying the at least one population of simulated RFID tags with the RFID reader. The simulated RFID tags may be configured by assigning arbitrary static IDs to at least some of the simulated RFID tags; assigning a sequence of tag IDs to at least some of the simulated RFID tags; assigning a sequence of time-varying IDs to at least some the population of simulated RFID tags; and assigning arbitrary timing/persistence to at least some of the simulated RFID tags.
