This document discusses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. It describes the components of an RFID system including RFID tags, readers, and antennas. RFID tags can be passive, semi-passive, or active depending on whether they have an internal power source. Common applications of RFID include payment cards, electronic toll collection, supply chain management, and access control. The document presents results from an online survey about RFID use in different industries and proposes further development areas like medical and library applications. In conclusion, RFID offers benefits like contactless reading and updating of tag data but also has limitations around cost and standardization.
