Introduction to
RFID Technology
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a revolutionary
wireless technology that enables the contactless
identification and tracking of objects. It uses radio waves
to read and write data to small, embedded tags,
revolutionizing supply chain management, access
control, and more.

WHAT IS RFID
 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that uses radio waves
to identify people or objects.
 RFID systems have three main components: tags, Antenna and readers.
 Tags are small electronic devices that store and transmit information, and can be
attached to many things, including products, animals, and assets.
 RFID antennas are an extensive of RFID readers. They are responsible for
transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals that interact with RFID tags. In
the case of RFID handheld and some all in one devices, the RFID antenna(s) are
encased in the same structure.
 Readers have antennas that emit radio waves and receive signals back from the
tags.
 When a reader sends out a signal, the tag responds with its stored data, allowing for
quick identification and tracking.
How RFID Works
Electromagnetic Fields Antenna and Transceiver

The antenna emits radio frequency
RFID systems use electromagnetic
signals, activating the tag so it can
fields to identify and track tagged
exchange data with the transceiver.
objects. The tag contains a small
radio transmitter and receiver.
Tag Data Transfer

When the tag passes within range of the antenna's electromagnetic field, it detects
the activation signal from the antenna and responds by transmitting its data.
Key RFID Components
1. RFID Reader: Decodes the data from the RFID tags and passes it to a computer system for processing.
2. RFID Tags: Small electronic devices attached to objects that contain a unique identification
number and other data.
3. Antenna: Transmits radio frequency signals to activate and read RFID tags.

Example of RFID Reader
RFID Reader Components
It has three components (RF Signal Generator, Receiver/Signal

Detector and Microcontroller
RF Signal Generator: it uses by transmitting signal via antenna
Receiver Signal detector: it uses for receiving feedback from RFID tag
via receiver antenna
Microcontroller which is responsible to process, analysis received data
RFID Tags
It has three components (Passive, Active and Semi Passive tag)
Passive Tags
 Passive Tags are more useful nowadays

It is cheap compare to other and it is not

Working Principle of RFID Frequency Ranges
2. Far Field Coupling
Distance Between Reader and tag will be few meters
 RFID Reader will send signal and received by tag then if the signal is enough
will be process from controller device but it is low it will keep responding to
the signal generator device (back schedule signal)
Back Schedule signal is weak signal received by RFID tags
Load is the one to measure the received signal
In far Field Coupling, they will be distance from reader to tags that is why
load need to received enough signal to be process with controller
Backscatter Modulation will be response of signal transmitter by reader
Benefits of RFID
1 Improved Inventory
Management
RFID tags allow for real-time
tracking of inventory, reducing
lost or mislabeled items and
improving supply chain
efficiency.
3 Increased Automation
2 Enhanced Security
RFID-enabled systems can RFID tags can be used to secure

automate many processes, valuable assets, preventing
such as check-in/check-out and theft and unauthorized access.
item recognition, saving time
and labor costs.
4 Better Data Collection
RFID data provides valuable
insights into customer
behavior, product usage, and
supply chain performance.
Disadvantages of RFID
While RFID offers many benefits, it also has some disadvantages. One
key issue is the potential for security and privacy breaches, as RFID
tags can be tracked and data can be intercepted.
Additionally, RFID systems can be expensive to implement,

especially for smaller organizations. Interference from metal and
liquids can also disrupt RFID signals, limiting their reliability in
certain environments.
