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 Semi-passive Tags Passive Tags
• Use a battery • Contain built-in • Derive their power
batteries to power the
• communicate over chip’s circuitry, resist
from the field
distances of interference and generated by the
several meters circumvent a lack of reader
power from the reader • without having an
signal due to long active transmitter
distance.
• They are different from
to transfer the
active tags in that they information stored
only transmit data at
the time a response is
received

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
