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.
