A wrapping material for wrapping an item, such as a floral grouping is provided. The method uses a particle filter. The ATM can read both the magnetic stripe data and the RFID tag data from the user card. One embodiment of the present invention improves the input return loss of an RF amplifier pallet in a cascaded-stage power amplifier circuit for a television transmitter including a 3 dB coupler by replacing one of the two amplifiers connected to the output of the 3 dB coupler with an electrical circuit of substantially equivalent impedance to the input impedance of the non-replaced amplifier.
