What is RFID?




Radio Frequency Identification
The use of radio frequency readers and
tags to identify real objects.
New frontier in the field of information
technology
One form of Automatic Identification
Barcode VS RFID
How Does RFID Work?
 3 Components



Transceiver – Tag Reader
Transponder – RFID tag


Also known an interrogator (as it is used to interrogate an
Tag).
Reader powers passive tags with RF energy
Can be handheld
Consists of:


Transceiver
Antenna
Microprocessor
Network interface
RFID tags


Tag is a device used to transmit
information such as a serial number to
the reader in a contact less manner
Classified as :



Passive – energy from reader
Active - battery
Semi-passive – battery and energy from
reader
Components of a Tag
Real Tags
Frequency Ranges
 Low – 100-500 kHz
 short range, low data rate, cost, & power
 Intermediate – 10-16 MHz
 medium range and data rate
 High – 850-950 MHz & 2.4-5.8GHz


large range, high cost, high data rate
needs line of sight
Frequencies of operation
 Low frequency



30-300 kHz
Tags need to be closer to the reader
Poor discrimination
 High frequency/radio frequency



3-30 MHz
Tags can be read from relatively greater
distances
Tags can hold more information
 Ultra high frequency/microwave



>300 MHz
Longest range
More interference

Multiple Tags?



What happens when multiple tags are
in range of the transceiver?
All the tags will be excited at the same
time.
Makes it very difficult to distinguish
between the tags.
General Applications used in our
Day-to-Day Life



Keyless entry
Electronic Product Code (EPC)
Proximity cards
General Applications
 Payment tokens


Contact-less credit cards
Automatic toll-payment


Euro banknotes
Passports
General Applications


Libraries
Security device
 Bookstores
Current Applications






Livestock Tagging
Wild Animal Tracking
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
Automated Toll Collection
Animal Husbandry
Vehicle Anti-Theft
Security Applications




RFID used to grant entry to secure
areas
Tracks time and movement of people
Dynamically change access codes
Provide automated entry
Conclusion




RFID has many potential uses
Likely to play a key technological role
Perceptions of privacy and security
vary
Privacy and security concerns must be
addressed
