RFID isolation tunnel with dynamic power indexing
First Claim
1. A method of utilizing an RFID scanning enclosure with dynamic power indexing, comprising:
- varying parameters of the enclosure in real-time to handle a variety of carton sizes;
configuring a target carton which is about to be scanned;
adjusting the enclosure for each carton'"'"'s needscombining any number of input parameters prior to scanning the target carton; and
tuning the enclosure in real time to needs and characteristics of each individual carton, such that the method utilizes a resistive sheet absorber technique which uses placement internal to the enclosure.

Abstract
A read chamber device is disclosed for use within a radio frequency identification (RFID) scanning enclosure which provides a means of reading a plurality of cartons moving through the enclosure via a conveyor belt. The enclosure is positioned over a section of the conveyor belt, such that the plurality of cartons on the conveyor belt pass directly through the enclosure. The read chamber device is positioned centrally to the enclosure and projects a read zone via an antenna positioned in-line with the flow of the conveyor which allows the read chamber to read a large variety of inlays without changing the configuration settings of the device. The RFID scanning enclosure also utilizes dynamic power indexing (DPI) to combine parameter inputs to create a smarter reader that can anticipate changes. The reader is then manipulated in real-time to adapt to the needs of each carton and the tunnel scanning environment.
