Acousto-Magnetic Technology

How Acousto-Magnetic Technology Works

Like other EAS technologies, Acousto-Magnetic systems use a transmitter to create a surveillance area where tags and labels are detected. The transmitter sends a radio frequency signal at a frequency of 58 kHz (thousands of cycles per second), but the frequency is sent in pulses. The transmit signal energizes a tag in the surveillance zone. When the transmit signal pulse ends, the tag responds, emitting a single frequency signal like a tuning fork. The tag signal is at the same frequency as the transmitter signal.
