RFID• RFID = Radio Frequency Identification• Electronic labeling and wireless identification of

objects using radio frequency • Tag carries with its information

• a serial number• Model number• Color or any other imaginable data

• When these tags pass through a field generated by a compatible reader, they transmit this information back to the reader, thereby identifying the object

RFID COMPONENTS• A basic RFID system consists of these components:

• A programmable RFID tag/inlay for storing item data; • Consisting of an RFID chip for data storage • an antenna to facilitate communication with the RFID

chip • A reader/antenna system to interrogate the RFID

inlay • Application software and a host computer system

RFID TAG• The RFID tag consists of an integrated circuit (IC)

embedded in a thin film medium.• Information stored in the memory of the RFID chip is

transmitted by the antenna circuit embedded in the RFID inlay via radio frequencies, to an RFID reader

• 3 types• Passive• Semi-passive• Active

 TYPES OF RFID TAGS

Type of RFID TagsActive Tags

• Use a battery• communicate over distances of several meters

Semi-passive Tags

• Contain built-in batteries to power the chip’s circuitry, resist interference and circumvent a lack of power from the reader signal due to long distance.

• They are different from active tags in that they only transmit data at the time a response is received

Passive Tags

• Derive their power from the field generated by the reader

• without having an active transmitter to transfer the information stored

CONCLUSION• Positive

• RFID is a contactless reading technology and can read through other materials

• Hold more data than barcode does• RFID tags data can be changed or added• More effective, bring lots of convenience to us

• Negative• Cost is relatively remain high (compare to barcode)• RFID signals may have problems with some materials• RFID standards are still being developed
