SARK-110 Antenna Analyzer 100kHz to 230MHz
The SARK-110 antenna analyzer is a convenient tool for the measurement of antennas for HF RFID applications because features such as the graphical representations of the impedance, the determination of the sign of the reactance, and good accuracy characteristics. Besides, starting from firmware version v0.8.3.2 the analyzer implements a very convenient feature for this kind of applications, which is the automatic calculation of the equivalent circuit model of small loop antennas or coils.
The purpose of this application note is describing the step by step procedure of the use of the SARK-110 for this application using a practical example. This procedure will consist in the measurement of a 13.56 MHz RFID reader printed coil antenna, the determination of the equivalent circuit model and the matching to the reader output impedance, 50-ohm in this case.
The RFID antenna used in this application note is realized as a printed coil on a FR-4 board substrate. The series equivalent circuit is used to simulate the antenna in a RF simulation software and calculate the matching network. I have used the freely available RFSim99 simulator, but any other suitable simulation software can be used. After designing the matching network the simulation results are verified with the measurement results.

1) Why PayPal?
PayPal enables you to send payments quickly and securely online using a credit card or bank account.
Advantages:
a) Payment is traceable. You can trace the status of your payment using your PayPal account.
b) Payment does not require you to use your credit card online (you can transfer directly from your bank account). TradeTang doesn't see your credit card number (it is safely encrypted through PayPal's server), which limits the risk of unauthorized use.
2) How to make payment by PayPal?
Buyers go the order process on TradeTang and if you prefer to use PayPal, you will be led to PayPal’s page. You are free to pay with your credit card, balance, or E-Cheque.

1.What is MTCN?
MTCN stands for Money Transfer Control Number, a ten digits number provided by Western Union upon your sending money. It serves a tracking number for sender and the recipient will not be able to collect money without MTCN.
2.What is the Exchange Rate if I pay by Western Union?
Money sent by Western Union will be exchanged according to the exchange rate of the day when it is collected. The amount we receive might be slightly different from that you send as exchange rate keeps changing.
3.What to do once I decide to pay with Western Union?
We need MTCN, your name and address to collect the money. After you choose to pay with Western Union, a new page will be opened, on which you need to fill in the blanks with the money-sending information.
Please make sure the information is exactly the same with that on your receipt given by Western Union agency.
