4.  Radio Frequency Identification – is
an automatic identification method, relying
on storing and remotely retrieving data using
devices called RFID tags or transponders
using high frequency Radio waves.

5.  A Tag is a transponder which receives a
radio signal and in response to it sends out
a radio signal.
 Tag contains an antenna, and a small
silicon chip that stores a small amount of
data

6.  Tag is powered by the high power
electromagnetic field generated by the
antennas – usually in doorways
 The field allows the
chip/antenna to reflect
back an extremely weak
signal containing the
data

8. ACTIVE
PASSIVE

9.  When radio waves from the reader are
encountered by a passive RFID tag, the coiled
antenna within the tag forms a magnetic
field.
 The tag draws power from it, energizing the
circuits in the tag.
 The tag then sends the information encoded
in the tag's memory
PASSIVE

10.  The tag functions without a battery!
 They have a useful life of twenty years or
more.
 Less expensive to manufacture
 The tag is much smaller (some tags are the
size of a grain of rice).
 Almost unlimited applications in consumer
goods and other areas.
PASSIVE

11.  Very Short Distance
◦ The tag can be read only at very short distances,
typically a few feet at most.
◦ This greatly limits the device for certain
applications.
 Very Long Time
◦ The tag remains readable for a very long time, even
after the product to which the tag is attached has
been sold and is no longer being tracked
PASSIVE

12.  An RFID tag is an active tag when
it is equipped with a battery that
can be used as a partial or complete source
of power for the tag's circuitry and antenna.
 Some active tags contain replaceable
batteries for years of use; others are sealed
units.
ACTIVE

13.  It can be read at distances of
one hundred feet or more,
greatly improving the utility of the device
 The capability of actively initiating
communications
ACTIVE

14.  The tag cannot function without
battery power, which limits the
lifetime of the tag.
 More expensive, often costing $20 or more
 Physically larger, which may limit
applications.
 The long-term maintenance costs
 Battery outages can result in expensive
misreads.

KHz because at these frequencies the RF can penetrate
mud, blood, and water
 About the size of uncooked grain of rice
 VeriChip linked to healthcare information
 Healthcare applications
◦ Implanted medical device identification
◦ Emergency access to patient-supplied health information
◦ Portable medical records access including insurance
information
◦ In-hospital patient identification
◦ Medical facility connectivity via patient
◦ Disease/treatment management of at-risk populations (such
as vaccination history)
