| RFID stands for Radio Frequency
Identification. Information and identity of an
object is transmitted wirelessly through radio waves. The individual
data is stored on a TAG, which can either be active or passive.
The components of an RFID System include: The RFID Tag, The RFID
Reader, and the computer, which manages the system.
Some of the principal standardized frequency ranges currently
employed include:
- 30 KHz to 500 KHz: Low-frequency RFID systems, with
transmission ranges less than 1.8 m.
- 13.56 MHz Class 1 range
- 850 MHz to 950 MHz: High-frequency RFID systems
900 MHz Class 0
860 - 930 MHz Class 1
Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID Protocol for Communications at the
860 MHz - 960 MHz range
- 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz: systems with longer transmission ranges
(more than 27 m)
Application of RFID
technology: supply chain, airport security, buildings security
