1. A radio frequency identification (RFID) test system comprising:
- an RFID reader adapted to provide an RF signal to an RFID device, wherein a signal level of the RF signal changes as the RFID device moves through a test region; and
wherein a performance level of the RFID device is determined based upon a total count of a plurality of responses of the RFID device to the RF signal from the RFID reader as the RFID device moves through the test region.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide variable test techniques for RFID devices. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a radio frequency identification (RFID) test system includes an RFID reader adapted to provide an RF signal to an RFID device, wherein a signal level of the RF signal changes as the RFID device moves through a test region. The performance level of the RFID device is determined based upon the number of times the RFID device responds to the RF signal.
