RFID is a form of automatic identification system that uses wireless networking to conduct communication between the system and a preidentified tag that can be attached to an object. It is a technology that works with Radiofrequency Waves to transmit signals to automatically communicate with, identify, categorize, and track any known object within its’ readers range. 44 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID system has two components, RFID Reader and RFID Tag. RFID tag can come in different types Active Tag, Passive Tag, and Semi Passive power source(batter) no power source semi power source Tag. 45 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID Tag Types 46 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) the purpose of the batter range between the reader and the tag can be larger distance Passive RFID systems use tags with no internal power source. They are powered by the electromagnetic energy transmitted from an RFID reader. Passive RFID tags are used for applications such as access control, file tracking, race timing, supply chain management, smart labels, and more. The lower price point per tag makes employing passive RFID systems economical for many industries. communication Active RFID systems use battery-powered RFID tags that continuously broadcast their own signal. Active RFID tags are commonly used as “beacons” to accurately track the real-time location of assets or in high-speed environments such as tolling. Active tags provide a much longer read range than passive tags, but they are also much more expensive. batter helps in two things to communicate with the reader and send information Semi Passive RFID systems are similar to Active RFID in being battery-powered for communication with RFID readers while depending on Electromagnetic Energy transmitted from an RFID reader to send required information. batter is only for communication send info using electromagnetic waves (like the passive) 47 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Important RFID System • Passive RFID Tags RIFD Reader RIFD Antenna RIFD Tags • Tag’s Antenna • Microchip / Integrated Circuit • Active RFID Tags • Tag’s Antenna • Microchip / Integrated Circuit • Battery (Communication/Send) • Semi Passive RFID Tags • Tag’s Antenna • Microchip / Integrated Circuit • Battery (Communication) 48 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Passive Tags Functionality -Waits for a signal from an RFID reader. -The reader sends energy to an antenna which converts that energy into an RF wave that is sent into the read zone. -Once the tag is read within the read zone, the RFID tag’s internal antenna draws in energy from the RF waves. -The energy moves from the tag’s antenna to the IC and powers the chip which generates a signal back to the RF system. This is called backscatter. -The backscatter, or change in the electromagnetic or RF wave, is detected by the reader (via the antenna), which interprets the information. 49 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Passive RFID tags exist on the market, but all tags generally fall into two categories: Soft, basic structure is commonly referred to as RFID Inlay Hard RFID tags are durable and made of plastic, metal, ceramic and even rubber. 50 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) High Temperature – Certain industries, like healthcare, track the number of cycles that instruments undergo in punishing autoclaves. Specific passive RFID tags are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and accommodate for those types of applications, among others. where it can be damaged Rugged – Applications in outdoor environments or tough warehouses need a tag that can withstand snow and ice, dust and debris, or even the crushing forces felt under a tractor wheel. For these applications, a highly rugged passive tag is needed to make the application successful 51 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Active RFID Reader or Interrogator Antenna Tag. Active RFID tags possess their own power source – an internal battery that enables them to have extremely long read ranges as well as large memory banks. Active RFID tags are powered by a battery that will last between 3 – 5 years, but when the battery fails, the active tag will need to be replaced but replaceable batteries will be a cost saving option. 52 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration 53 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Essentially, two different types of active RFID tags are available – transponders and beacons. Transponders – In a system that uses an active transponder tag, the reader (like passive systems) will send a signal first, and then the active transponder will send a signal back with the relevant information. Transponder tags are very efficient Source: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/rfidbecause they conserve battery life when the tag is out of range of the reader. Active basics/all RFID transponders are commonly used in secure access control and in toll booth and send information when receive the electromagnetic wave from the reader payment systems. respond the reader sends a signal to the active RFID tag and when it recieve it becomes active and starts to work Beacons – In a system that uses an active beacon tag, the tag will not wait to hear the reader’s signal. Instead, true to its name, the tag will ‘beacon’, or send out its specific information every 3 – 5 seconds. Beacon tags are very common in the oil and gas industry, as well as mining and cargo tracking applications. Active tag’s beacons can be read hundreds of meters away, but, in order to conserve battery life, they may be set to a lower transmit power in order to reach around 100 meters doesn’t wait for the electromagnetic wave to respond, it sends information every 3-5 read range. secs. Thats why we use it in important industry CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Active Tags Features: Usually encased in a rugged shell due to environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures and moisture. Usually are much larger than passive tags due to the size of the enclosed battery, circuitry, and bulk of a durable exterior. Some Active tags are equipped with on-board sensors that track environmental parameters (tracking moister levels, temperature, and key identifiers) More expensive when compared to Passive Tags. 54 CLO1 – IET 2103 Technology Innovation and Integration Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Functionality: It is a technology that works with Radio Waves that can automatically identifies an object such as a book in a library, a product in a shop, a box in a storage room, a car in the road, or live stocks. An RFID reader sends radio waves continuously and once it detects an object within its range, this object will start sending its information to the reader. It is similar to barcode technology, but in barcode technology the product and the reader needs to be insight of each other while in our case. The object can be identified as long as it is within the range of the reader and it is able to send its information back to the reader. This technology can track multiple objects at the same time.
