RFID

Radio Frequency Identification

Aishwarya Naik | BBA - C | EDC-2020-212


Radio Frequency
Identification
A Technology that uses radio waves to
passively identify a tagged object. It is used in
several commercial and industrial applications,
from tracking items along a supply chain to
keeping track of items checked out of a library.
Uses of RFID

Inventory Control

Equipment Tracking

Personnel Tracking

Monitoring Patients

Providing Data for Electronic Medical Records Systems


RFID tags are made out of three pieces: a micro chip (an integrated
circuit which stores and processes information.
Modulates and demodulates radio-frequency (RF) signals),
an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal and a substrate.
Signaling between the reader and the tag is done in several different
incompatible ways, depending on the frequency band used by the tag.
A group of tags has to be illuminated by the interrogating signal just
like a single tag.
RFID tags are easy to conceal or incorporate in other items.
Signaling between the reader and the tag is done in several different
incompatible ways, depending on the frequency band used by the
tag. 
How does RFID work?
RFID belongs to a group of technologies referred to
as Automatic Identification and Data Capture
(AIDC). AIDC methods automatically identify
objects, collect data about them, and enter those data
directly into computer systems with little or no
human intervention. RFID methods utilize radio
waves to accomplish this. At a simple level, RFID
systems consist of three components: an RFID tag or
smart label, an RFID reader, and an antenna. RFID
tags contain an integrated circuit and an antenna,
which are used to transmit data to the RFID reader
(also called an interrogator). The reader then
converts the radio waves to a more usable form of
data. Information collected from the tags is then
transferred through a communications interface to a
host computer system, where the data can be stored
in a database and analyzed at a later time.
RFID used at Toll Gates
Also used at metros, identify baggage and cargo.
