This document discusses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and its applications. It provides an overview of RFID components including tags, readers, and antennas. It describes the three main types of RFID tags - passive, semi-passive, and active - and their operating frequencies and read ranges. Several current applications are highlighted, including payment cards, electronic toll collection, and asset tracking. The document also summarizes the results of an online survey on potential RFID applications and discusses further development opportunities in medical and library uses.

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
