RFID Basics How it works ? Antenna

Decades of RFID Decade Event 1940 - 1950 Radar refined and used, major World War II development effort. RFID invented in 1948. 1950 - 1960 Early explorations of RFID technology, laboratory experiments. 1960 - 1970 Development of the theory of RFID. Start of applications field trials. 1970 - 1980 Explosion of RFID development. Tests of RFID accelerate. Very early adopter implementations of RFID. 1980 - 1990 Commercial applications of RFID enter mainstream. 1990 – 2006 Emergence of standards. RFID widely deployed. RFID becomes a part of everyday life.

WILL IT BE ABLE TO REPLACE BARCODE ? RFID is part of a range of technologies and services that can be jointly referred to as automatic identification and data capture (AIDC)
