The document discusses RFID and its applications. It provides background on RFID technology, describing its components including RFID tags and readers. It then discusses various applications of RFID technology in different frequency ranges for uses like logistics, supply chain management, smart cards, and electronic toll collection. The document also summarizes the results of an online survey on industries that respondents think RFID could be applied to, such as library management and inventory control. It concludes that RFID provides benefits like contactless reading and updating data but that costs remain relatively high compared to barcodes 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

6. TYPES OF RFID TAGS
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

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
