The transponder interrogator is operated in a continuous read mode, and any tag enter-
ing its read field has its data automatically read and relayed to the host computer. In 
many applications this function is implemented by installing the reader on a vehicle 
with restricted movement, such as a railcar or monorail bus. The tags are imbedded in 
the roadway at various locations in the vehicle’s path. The data read from the tag 
allows the host computer to assess the vehicle’s location and make any appropriate 
response to that information.
The transponder interrogator is an independent tag decoder that combines a reader and 
RF source to provide automatic identification and data storage within a single, 
compact unit. The transponder interrogator includes the following components:
19-inch rack-mount design
Serial input/output (I/O) link
Real-time clock
32K buffer storage in static random access memory (SRAM) with battery backup
Reader and RF module, combined in one unit
Reader Power Regulation and Filtering
The reader system uses an input voltage ranging from 8V DC to 140V DC. The 
AI1422 Reader System incorporates a high-performance, DC-to-DC power supply 
that converts voltage in this range to 13.5V DC. TransCore offers three input voltage 
options, 8V DC to 32V DC, 28V DC to 140V DC, and 14V DC to 70V DC.
Antenna
TransCore has two antennas that can operate with the AI1422 Half-Frame Reader Sys-
tem, the AA3233 Rail Antenna and the AA3234 Light Rail Antenna. The AA3233 
Rail Antenna can be used where high shock and vibration conditions exist. The 
AA3234 Light Rail Antenna can be used for light rail applications that require a low 
profile for mounting on the carriage of commuter trains and people-mover systems.
Transponders (Tags)
The AI1422 Half-Frame Reader System can use TransCore’s half-frame read-only 
tags.
