RFID TAG
A SEMINOR TOPIC ON:
RFID TAG
Overview
 What is RFID.
 How RFID Works.
 Current Applications.
 Future Applications.
 Examples.
What is RFID?
 The RFID stands for Radio Frequency
Identification.
 The use of radio frequency tags to identify
real objects.
Identification
 Assign IDs to objects.
 Link the ID to additional information about the
object.
 Link the ID to complementary info.
 Find similar objects.
Identification Examples
 Bar Codes
 License Plates
 Student ID
 Serial Numbers
 Car Keys
 Database Keys
How Does RFID Work?
 There are 3 Components.
 Transceiver – Tag Reader
 Transponder – RFID tag
 Antenna
RFID Hardware
Magnetic / Inductive Coupling

Types of Tags
 Passive Tags
 No battery
 Low cost
 Active Tags
 On-board transceiver
 Battery – must be replaced
 Longer range
 High cost
Types of Tags
 Read Only
 factory programmed
 usually chipless
 Read / Write
 on-board memory
 can save data
 can change ID
 higher cost

Data Transfer
 Amplitude Modulation (AM)
 Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
 Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
Frequency Shift Keying
 Fc/8/10
 0’s are the carrier divided by 8
 1’s are the carrier divided by 10
 Count clock cycles between changes in
frequency
 Slows the data rate
 Provides for a simple reader design
 Fair noise immunity
Phase Shift Keying
 One frequency
 Change the phase on the transition between a 0
to 1 or 1 to 0
 Faster data rate than FSK
 Noise immunity
 Slightly more difficult to build a reader than
FSK
Multiple Tags?
 What happens when multiple tags are in range
of the transceiver?
 All the tags will be excited at the same time.
 Makes it very difficult to distinguish between
the tags.
Collision Avoidance
 Similar to network collision avoidance
 Probabilistic
 Tags return at random times
 Deterministic
 Reader searches for specific tags
Frequency Ranges
 Low – 100-500 kHz
 short range, low data rate, cost, & power
 Intermediate – 10-16 MHz
 medium range and data rate
 High – 850-950 MHz & 2.4-5.8GHz
 large range, high cost, high data rate
 needs line of sight
Frequency Ranges
 8 total ranges around the world
 No standards … yet
Examples Of Current
Applications
 Livestock Tagging
 Wild Animal Tracking
 Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
 Automated Toll Collection
 Vehicle Anti-Theft
More Applications
 Passive / Secure Entry
 Airline Baggage Tracking
 Postal Package Tracking
 Time and Attendance
Security
 RFID used to grant entry to secure areas
 Tracks time and movement of people
 Dynamically change access codes
 Provide automated entry

Smart Grocery Store
 Several carts this
full in early evening
could seriously slow
down the checkout
process.
Smart Grocery Store
 Add an RFID tag to
all items in the
grocery.
 As the cart leaves
the store, it passes
through an RFID
transceiver
 The cart is rung up
in seconds.

Smart Fridge
 Recognizes what’s been put in it
 Recognizes when things are removed
 Creates automatic shopping lists
 Notifies you when things are past their
expiration
RFID’s Advantages
 Passive
 wireless
 Store data on a tag
 Can be hidden
 Work in harsh environments
RFID’s Disadvantages
 Lack of standards!
 Short range
 Cost
Open Discussion
 What identification systems exist that could be
enhanced with RFID?
 What new identification systems are only
feasible using RFID?
