RFID
 Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic
identification method using radio waves.

 RFID is a technology that incorporates the use of electromagnetic or

electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object, animal, or
person.

 RFID is also called dedicated short range communication .

Other Auto-ID-Technologies:
 Bar Code
 Smart Cards
 Biometrics (e.g. fingerprint)

Special Characteristics of Radio Communication:

 No physical contact
 No line-of-sight

Tag
 An RFID tag is a device that can store and transmit data to a reader
in a contact less manner using radio waves.
 Each tag contains a unique code that facilitating the identification
process & is known as EPC (Electronic Product Code).

Types
 Active tag
 Passive tag
Passive RFID
Tags
No on-board power source (for example, a battery)
 Uses the power emitted from the reader to energize itself and
transmit its stored data to the reader
 Reader always communicates first, followed by the tag.
 Smaller than an active tag.
 It has a variety of read ranges starting with less than 1 inch to about
10 feet (3 meters approximately).
 Cheaper compared to an active or semi-active tag.
Active
tag
Has on-board power source .
 No need for reader's emitted power for data transmission

 A tag always communicates first, followed by the reader.

 High Read Range

RFID inductive coupling

ADVANTAGE:

RFID technology automates data collection and vastly reduces human

effort and error

RFID supports tag reading with no line-of-sight or item-by-item scans

required

RFID readers can read multiple RFID tags simultaneously, offering

increases in efficiency.
