This document discusses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and its applications. It begins by explaining what RFID is and its basic components - RFID tags, readers, and software. It then describes the different types of RFID tags - passive, semi-passive, and active - and provides examples of their read ranges and uses. The document outlines several current applications of RFID technology, including credit cards, transportation payment systems, toll collection, and access control. It also shares the results of an online survey on RFID conducted with small and medium enterprises. In conclusion, it discusses further potential development areas and provides both positive and negative perspectives on RFID technology.

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. RFIDTag
• 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 RFIDTags
ActiveTags
• Use a battery
• communicate over distances of
several meters
Semi-passiveTags
• 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
PassiveTags
• 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 10/15/2015
