Describes the test methods for determining the performance characteristics of 2,4 GHz real-time locating system (RTLS) equipment including tags, readers, and exciters which are applicable to the selection of equipment that conforms to ISO/IEC 24730-2 for specific applications.

This International Standard defines the test methods for determining the performance characteristics of 2,4GHz real time locating system (RTLS) equipment including tags, readers, and exciters which are applicable to the selection of equipment that conforms to ISO/IEC24730-2 for specific applications. This International Standard does not apply to the testing in relation to regulatory or similar requirements.

The RTLS equipment performance parameters included in this International Standard include the mandatory direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) 2,4GHz radio frequency beacon link between tags and readers. It includes the optional on-off keyed/frequency shift keyed (OOK/FSK) short range radio frequency link between tags and programmers. It also includes the optional magnetic air-interface between exciters and tags and between programmers and tags.

Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this International Standard apply exclusively to RTLS equipment defined in ISO/IEC24730-2.
