Abstract
In a method for reading from an RFID-tagged article and an RFID system, information is accurately read from an RFID tag while interference with other devices is prevented by use of a compact and simple configuration. An article is conveyed on a conveyor belt. Also, an RFID tag is attached to the article. Information on the RFID tag is read by a leaky coaxial cable that is a stationary read/write antenna in a vicinity of the conveyor belt. The leaky coaxial cable is above the conveyor belt and at least a portion of the cable traverses the conveyor belt.
