RFID Radio Tag & RFID Reader

How does a RFID Technology work?

Tiny Microchips make up the majority of an RFID Tag – each with an interrogator and a reader which is consisted on an antenna. Each RFID Reader will send out electromagnetic waves which are picked up by hand held RFID readers. The antenna will be tuned to a RFID Frequency to receive those waves.

RFID Tag Power Source

RFID Tags will be powered by their own electromagnetic waves that are created by a power field that draws energy from the waves surrounding the tags. Each RFID Chip will draw from this power and then send a digital signal back to a RFID Reader.

What is RFID?

Radio Frequency Identification Tags are dubbed “ RFID” which is a technology that uses radio electromagnetic waves to identify either people or objects, such as inventory of food or clothing. Commonly RFID are used to store a serial number or a identifying characteristic that can help with inventory processing. RFID tag us an antenna and a transponder to interact with a RFID receiver.

RFID Antenna Technology

An antenna enables a chip to transmit RFID identification information to a RFID reader. The RFID reader will then convert the radio waves which it receives from RFID tags.

Common applications for RFID?

RFID can be used to track agriculture, inventory, clothing, people or any other object that moves or can be hidden. Already, many toll bridges are using RFID technology to give cars an easy way to by-pass the payment system by using RFID tags on their cars.

RFID Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management is one of the most obvious applications for RFID tags, but the technology will become more common as the price of RFID tags and RFID readers drop to a more manageable level for corporations seeking to employ RFID technology.

Can I buy a 5-cent RFID tag?

Companies are working hard to develop a RFID tag that costs literally pennies, or 5 cents. However most industry analysts believe that at the year 2010, this type of pricing for RFID will be available.

Large Scale RFID Technology

The large scale manufacturing of RFID tags will be required before widespread usage and lower prices are available.
