 What is RFID ?
• RFID- describes the use of radio frequency signals to provide

automatic identification of items.

• works in various range of frequencies

1. Low-frequency RFID systems ( 30 KHz to 500 KHz )
2. High-frequency RFID systems ( 850 MHz to 950 MHz and
2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz )
Parts of RFID
 an RFID device ( transponder/tag)
 an Antenna
 a Reader

In addition to this equipment, the system includes

application-specific software.
 Significance
RFID Label

Consists microchip
inside., that contains data
about the item.

chips Chip can be programmable

( read / write )
Antenna

Transmits radio
frequency signals to
activate the tag

Reader Reader = transceiver +

antenna

Transceiver = transmitter +
reciever
Reads data inside the tag

RETAILING :
Eg:
RFID tag used in wal-mart

RFID in living bodies !!
RFID-Health Care Industry
 Patient identification
 Supply chain tracking
1. keep track of all medicines from the suppliers
2 .high price pharmaceuticals are highly
protected.
Automated billing
Vehicle identification system

vehicle fitted with an

electronic tag

transmit ID to ground
loop…………

data fed at roadside

equipment or
accurate computer
systems
Electronic Road Pricing ( ERP ) gantry in Singapore

Collects tolls in heavilly

crowded traffic areas
in Singapore.

This is by means of
employing active
RFID tags known as
cashcards.
 Shelf management

Check- in/out service

Self Check-in/out

Tagging

Anti-theft detection
Problems with RFID

Privacy Concern :
Tracking individual movements without
the knowledge of him.
 Security Concern :
Cloning of passport of an individual
providing insecurity to him/her.
The Proposed system previously adopted is :

Identity of a person ( even his biometric information)

can be known easily if the passport is
opened/partially opened too…
SCOPE
In forthcoming years there will be development on an active RFID
that will incorporate high functionality

The future enhancements of this technology would be contactless

payments .

The scope of RFID is to reduce its affects making the technology

more useful and successful.
Conclusion
RFID technology is going to influence the world
with its enormous range of applications as it
has been very impressive in its functionality.

RFID not only saves money, if used

properly it can save life and time,
which is precious.
