RF periods
RF periods represent periods of the carrier frequency emitted by the transciever unit. For example, if 125 kHz is used :
The Read bit period (Opt64) would be : 1/125'000*64 = 512 μs, and the time to read 1 word : 1/125'000*3200 = 25.6 ms.
The Read bit period (Opt32) would be : 1/125'000*32 = 256 μs, and the time to read 1 word : 1/125'000*1600 = 12.8 ms.
ATTENTION
Due to amplitude modulation of the coil-signal, the clock-extractor may miss clocks or add spurious clocks close
to the edges of the RF-envelope. This desynchronisation will not be larger than ±3 clocks per bit and must be
taken into account when developing reader software.
