Features and Functionality of Rfid

RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to uniquely identify objects or people. It consists of a transceiver, antenna, and transponder that can operate in either passive or active mode. Common applications include tracking items in libraries and warehouses, use in credit cards and passports, and monitoring access to buildings. RFID standards set by ISO specify operating frequencies and modulation/coding schemes for different uses such as tracking animals and items. Common frequency bands defined in the ISO 18000 series standards include 135 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 860-960 MHz, 2.45 GHz, and 433 MHz.

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
