Abstract

An RFID system for identifying electrodes that comprises at least one connector cable, wherein at least one of said connector cables has a plurality of antenna connectors. At least two of the antenna connectors will each have an RFID antenna attached thereto, and an RFID reader will be utilized having a power rating sufficient such that there is no substantial interference between the RFID antennas when the reader is activated.

Claims

1. An RFID system for identifying electrodes comprising:

(a) at least one connector cable, wherein at least one of said connector cables having a plurality of antenna connectors;

(b) at least two of said antenna connectors each having an RFID antenna attached thereto; and

(c) an RFID reader having a power rating sufficient such that there is no substantial interference between said at least two RFID antennas when said reader is activated.

2. An RFID system for identifying electrodes as recited in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of electrodes at least two of which having an RFID tag thereon and capable of being detected by said RFID reader without substantial interference therebetween.

3. An RFID system for identifying electrodes as recited in claim 1 wherein said RFID reader comprising individual tuning and matching networks for the plurality of antennas attached to the reader.
