This document discusses RFID and its applications. It begins by defining RFID as radio frequency identification technology that uses electronic tags to wirelessly identify objects. It then describes the basic components of an RFID system including tags, chips, antennas, and readers. The document outlines the different types of RFID tags and their characteristics. It provides examples of current RFID applications in areas like credit cards, transportation, and access control. Finally, it discusses potential future developments and concludes that RFID provides benefits like contactless reading but also has limitations around cost and standardization.

2. FLOW OF PRESENTATION

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

6. TYPES OF RFID TAGS
Type of RFID TagsActive
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

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
