4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7. Active 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

Types of industries that respondentsthink
it is possible to apply RFID technology
19. 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
