Component Testing

• Readable Range Testing
• Maximum Readable Tag Speed
• Heart Rate Monitor Testing
• Software and Database Testing

16
Readable Range Procedure

• Antenna placed on 1 X 1 grid paper with TIRIS
  label facing up
• Origin corner closest to the cable
• Points were drawn on the grid marking 3 X 3
  squares.
• A ruler was placed perpendicular to each point,
  and the transponder was slowly dragged upward
  along it while the LED on the RFID reader was
  monitored.

17
Readable Range Results

• surf function in Matlab was used to create a
  diagram indicating the three-dimensional range of
  readability of the antenna.

18
Max Velocity Testing Procedure

• Antenna placed on the floor and the pendulum was
  swung above it
• When the pendulum was stationary, the transponder
  was 22 inches above the antenna
• Four different pendulum orientations were used

RFID Component Testing Conclusions

• The area of greatest readability is centered
  about the antenna
• The antenna must be positioned so that the
  runners foot will come within 20 inches of the
  antennas center
• The runners stride should be parallel to the
  length of the antenna since that particular
  experiment yielded the fastest detectable speeds
• The world record for track and field is 23.04 mph
  and average running speed is 17 mph (Holladay).
• The antenna is appropriate for the FIT System
  design project.

22
Heart Rate Subsystem Component Testing

• Heart Rate Monitor Accuracy Test (Polar B1 Heart
  Rate Monitor vs. EKG
• Conclusion Polar B1 heart rate monitor is
  accurate enough for the non-diagnostic purposes
  of the FIT System
• Heart Rate Monitor Placement Test
• Conclusion Regardless of vertical placement on
  the users chest (from the navel to the armpits),
  the chest strap accurately transmits the users
  heart rate

23
FIT System Software and Database Testing
The FIT System Software and Database were tested
throughout their development and are working
properly. CONCLUSION The FIT System is
complete and ready for implementation in the Kern
Center.
