RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is an electronic labeling technology that uses radio waves to identify objects. An RFID tag contains information like a serial number that is transmitted to an RFID reader when passed through its field. The basic components of an RFID system are a programmable tag, reader/antenna, and host computer. Tags can be passive, semi-passive, or active. Current applications of RFID include credit cards, transit cards, electronic toll collection, access control, and supply chain management. While RFID offers benefits over barcodes like storing more data and updating wirelessly, its costs remain higher and standards are still being developed.

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

15. 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
