One of the most important concepts which choosing and testing an RFID tag is the concept of SOAP - tag Size, Orientation, Angle, and Placement. In this series all about RFID tag SOAP, we will discuss how each of these concepts relates to an RFID tag's read range.

In this video, we will talk about how RFID tag size correlates to read range by comparing two small RFID tags and how a small size difference can make a big impact. In this video, we will compare the Xerafy Dot XS and the Xerafy Pico-On Plus. We will read each tag with the TSL 1153 UHF RFID Reader, a smaller reader with a lower transmit power and then compare the results. Both of these are on-metal RFID tags, so we placed them on an aluminum plate.
