RFID: The New Technology
Radio frequency Identification and Detection is a general
term used for technologies that make use of radio waves in order to identify
objects and people. RFID is a tracking technology used to identify and
authenticate tags that are applied to any product, individual or animal.
Purpose of Radio frequency Identification and Detection system is to facilitate
data transmission through the portable device known as tag that is read with
the help of RFID reader; and process it as per the needs of an application.
How RFID works
There are two types of RFID tags: active and passive. When
most people talk about Radio frequency Identification. they talk about passive tags, in which a radio
frequency is sent from a transmitter to a chip or card which has no power cell but
uses the transmitted signal to power itself long enough to respond with a coded
identifier.
Passive RFID tags are lacking in power supply of their own
whereas Active RFID tags are full with power source and may have extensive
ranges and sizable memories than passive tags and they have more space to
accommodate extra data sent by transceiver.
