Hi Jeff, I don't know if this is 100% applicable to the NCR and ERSI technology but the battery comments might be applicable given their ESL's passive/reflective nature.

A very fast signal acquisition method, using a device called a Matched Filter, was invented over forty years ago at MIT, said Giordano. The filter essentially enabled the instantaneous capture and analysis of the signal, however due to its size and the circuitry required to manufacture the device, it was not practical for commercial use. Another drawback to commercialization of the filter was the fact that it produced a very high power drain, thus a very short battery life.
