ACTIVATOR AT132-AT Technical Description Overview: The function of the Activator is to broadcast a signal, which contains the Activator’s ID. When a Tag passes through this field, it will wake up and broadcast that Activator’s ID and the Tag’s ID. This information is then utilized by a local or remote system to determine such things as location/tracking of the Tag and to perform operations like opening a portal. Block Diagram Description: The power supply inputs 24VDC from a wall mount unit. The Activator both utilizes and converts the 24VDC to 12VDC and 5VDC. The micro processor (up) operates from a single 5MHz crystal from which all timing is derived. On power up, the micro processor is initialized, reads the Unit Number Switches (ID) and then steps through an automatic tuning loop. The 132 kHz transmitter is then tuned by sampling the output transmitter voltage and switching in tuning capacitors, via a triac bank, to obtain the best match to the antenna. The antenna consists of a number of turns of wire, wound to achieve 100uH of inductance. A capacitance is added to resonate the antenna to the proper frequency. The transmitter can be disabled externally via an optically isolated interface. The programming connector is used to modify the micro processor’s operation and can only be changed by the manufacturer. Off board communications and some parameter changes can be accomplished via a serial (RS232) connection. The display connector is not utilized at this time but can used to perform either parallel or serial operations. Additionally this port can be used for I/O expansion.

AT-132, Activator Transmitter The AT-132 Activator has 126kHz transmitter tuned by sampling the output transmitter voltage and switching in tuning capacitors, via a triac bank, to obtain the best match to the antenna. AT-132, Activator Antenna The AT-132 Activator external antenna consists of a number of turns of wire, wound to achieve 100 μ H of inductance. A capacitance is added to resonate the antenna to the proper frequency. The activator connects to antenna via coax cable with BNC connectors. 1.3Test Methodology Radiated emission measurements were performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (1992). All measurements were performed in 3m full size Anechoic Chamber. Preliminary scans were performed in the 3m full size Anechoic Chamber only to determine worst case modes. For each scan, the procedure for maximizing emissions in Appendices D and E were followed. All Radiated tests were performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated otherwise in the " Justification Section " of this Application. 1.4Test Facility The test site facility used to collect the radiated and conducted measurement data is located at 7250 Hudson Blvd., Oakdale, Minnesota. This test facility has been fully described in a report dated on May 2000 A FCC ID: N6EACTIVATORReport No: J20033565.021 – August 2001 Page 2 of 23 submitted to your office.
