RFID Part-19
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology for uniquely identifying objects using electromagnetic signals, initially developed during WWII, and is now widely used in various industries. It involves transceivers, antennas, and transponders, operating in different frequencies and can function in passive or active modes, allowing applications such as inventory tracking, access control, and animal tracking. Furthermore, RFID standards exist to regulate the technology, and components like tags and readers play crucial roles in its functionality.

- 3. www.techvilla.org.in What is RFID? •RFID is a technology, whose origins are found in the WWII era, that incorporates electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the RF portion of the EM spectrum to uniquely identify an object, animal or person. It is also gaining increasing use in industry as an alternative to the bar code. • Requires a transceiver, antenna, and transponder • Can operate in Passive or Active Modes
- 4. www.techvilla.org.in What is RFID? •RF signals transmitted by the transceiver activates the transponder, which transmits data back to the transceiver. • Transponder is powered by EM waves emitted by the transceiver • Various frequencies are used depending on the application • Requires no line-of-sight (like bar-codes)
