The antenna on the handhold device will receive radio frequency waves from the RFID Chip in the golf ball. This will result in a beeping noise on your handhold device as you become closer to the ball. The closer you are to your ball, the faster it will beep.
A RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking chip will be placed inside the golf ball. The chip is so small that it would not affect the performance of the ball at all.
At a basic level, each chip works in the same way:
At a basic level, each chip works in the same way:
- Data stored within an RFID tag's microchip waits to be read.
- The tag's antenna receives electromagnetic energy from an RFID reader's antenna.
- Using power from its internal battery or power harvested from the reader's electromagnetic field, the tag sends radio waves back to the reader.
- The reader picks up the tag's radio waves and interprets the frequencies as meaningful data.
