RFID 技術簡介

RFID 是 Radio Frequency Identification 的縮寫，即射頻識別

RFID（Radio Frequency Identification），即“射頻識別”，是一種非接觸式的自
動識別技術（Auto-ID），它通過射頻信號自動識別目標物件並獲取相關資料。
RFID 技術可識別高速運動物體並可同時識別多個標籤，其識別工作無需人工干
預，操作快捷方便。
最基本的 RFID 系統由三部分組成：
 标標籤(Tag)：由耦合元件及晶片組成，每個標籤具有唯一的電子編碼，附著
在物體上標識目標
    物件；
 讀寫器(Reader)：讀取(有時還可以寫入)標籤資訊的設備，可設計為掌上型或
固定式；
 天線(Antenna)：在標籤和讀取器間傳遞射頻信號。

電 子標籤中一般保存有約定格式的電子資料，在實際應用中，電子標籤附著在
待識別物體的表面。讀寫器通過天線發送出一定頻率的射頻信號，當標籤進入
磁場時產生 感應電流從而獲得能量，發送出自身編碼等資訊被讀取器讀取並解
碼後送至電腦主機進行有關處理。這樣讀寫器就可以無接觸地讀取並識別電子
標籤中所保存的電子 資料，從而達到自動識別體的目的。

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)射頻識別技術，主要由讀寫設備和電子標籤

組成，讀寫設備和電子標籤之間通過射頻信號自動識別目標物件，獲取其相關
的資料， 從而實現對物體的識別，並將採集到的資料傳輸到應用系統平臺進行
匯總、分析、處理。該技術具有讀取距離遠、穿透能力強、抗污染、 效率高
（可同時處理多個標籤）、信息量大的特點。

Asset Tracking That Delivers Privacy and Value

RFID technology raises asset tracking to new level. End users enjoy faster, seamless
transactions that are more secure than currently used systems. These systems require the
personal involvement of some individual such as a librarian, ticket agent or health-care
professional. Libraries, pharmacies, entertainment venues who adopt RFID can benefit
from secure wireless transfer transactions that deliver high return on investment.

Asset tracking based on Texas Instruments’ (TI) innovative RFID technologies can
increase user throughput in libraries, ski resorts and concerts by shortening lines,
controlling theft and locating misplaced property that has been smart-tagged.

In addition RFID smart tags can be customized with a wide variety of form factors for
specific applications. TI’s broad product portfolio includes high- and low-frequency
transponders to suit the needs of different applications.

In order to realize the full range of benefits of RFID brings, proper implementation is a
critical to the success of any technology deployment. A technology company's experience
and reliability are just as important as its ability to innovate -- and Texas Instruments has
both.

Since 1989, TI has provided RFID solutions to a wide range of companies and institutions.
TI co-invented the smart label form factor and has shipped more than 100 million smart
labels to date.

A recent poll that spanned the RFID industry named TI #1 in thought leadership and as the
industry's most desired business partner.

TI ensures privacy through a variety of technologies including encryption, chip disabling

and factory-locked code -- an exclusive TI technology that allows for information
customized to the needs of TI's customer and included on the RFID chip. Labels can be
programmed with additional information such as type of media and storage location. TI's
chips also support industry-specific privacy requirements such as National Drug Code
(NDC) decommissioning specifications.

TI is unique in its decision to take control of the entire manufacturing process that results
in the inlay that label converters use to make the tags. By manufacturing and assembling
both the RFID chip and its antenna with TI’s patented laser tuning process, the inlays
undergo complete functional and parametric testing in order to provide the high quality
and consistent read performance that customers have come to expect from TI.

Raising the Bar for 'Fraudsters'

Smart labels make counterfeiting cost-prohibitive

RFID technology provides security and authentication in the supply chain for high-end
designer-label product such as apparel, toiletries or accessories that confounds
counterfeiters. With Texas Instruments’ (TI) RFID technology, protection does not have
to carry a high price tag since ROI is sure to increase as forgeries currently making their
way into the market decrease.

As a technology leader and innovator in RFID, TI has both leading-edge technology and
trusted field experience to supply unique features to product authentication systems.

TI is the co-inventor of the smart label and has proven its performance as a trusted,
reliable supplier of chips and RFID subsystems since 1989. The 2006 RFID Marketing
Strategies Report, a survey of more than 550 end users, providers and prospects, ranked TI
as #1 in thought leadership and as the most desired business partner.

As counterfeiting becomes more sophisticated, retailers are opting for electronic labels to
secure their supply chain. These electronic labels require manufacturing capability beyond
the reach of fraudsters and the addition of unique security features for good measure.

Smart labels are embedded in clothing and designer goods to provide authentication
through the supply chain. They can also be embedded into items like printer ink cartridges
to ensure that only the correct consumable replacements are used in equipment.
TI demonstrates its technology leadership and retail-savvy know how by

offering three security capabilities:

 PKI encryption - Counterfeiting is a major concern in the pharmaceutical

industry. Using PKI encryption, TI’s RFID chips can authenticate a package
with only the encrypted information on the chip.
 Data Decommissioning - Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to render an RFID
chip permanently inoperable . In these cases, before the tag is distributed,
sensitive data can be decommissioned from the tag by persons with the
proper security clearances.
 Factory-locked code - Because TI controls its entire manufacturing process,
including chip and antenna, it can accommodate customized information to
be securely embedded in the chip when specified by the user.
