Deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems is rapidly growing and has the potential to affect many different industries and applications. We present a brief history of RFID technology and automatic identification systems. We summarize major RFID applications, and present a primer on RFID fundamental principles. Finally, we discuss several challenges and obstacles to RFID adopti...

Radio Frequency Identification is a technology where data is transmitted via radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. An RFID system consists of a radio frequency transceiver which both transmits and receives signals, and a miniature transponder in the form of an RFID “tag” that houses an antenna for receiving signals and a tiny chip containing the RF circuitry and the information to be tra...

The Radio Frequency Identification System, a wireless communication system, recently is applied to vehicular identification; this motivates the analysis of the propagation environment for outdoor RFID systems. The RFID System applied to the vehicular identification consists of the reader, the tag and the radio channel, which is made up by the ground (asphalt), the free space and surrounded by w...

The purpose of this paper is to develop an innovative system which uses chipless RFID tags to protect sensitive paper/ polymer-based documents, such as intelligence agency reports, financial securities, envelopes, stamps, and banknotes. The significance of this project is vital as the expected outcome from this new system can be used to strengthen the security of important documents and banknot...

1.1 Radio frequency identification Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless data capturing technique which utilizes radio frequency (RF) waves for automatic identification of objects. RFID relies on RF waves for data transmission between the data carrying device, called the RFID tag, and the interrogator (Finkenzeller, 2003; Kraiser & Steinhagen, 1995) A typical RFID system is shown ...

The RFID Garage Door Entry System team is a project team which seeks to create an automation solution using a relatively un-harnessed technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Using RFID technology, the team seeks to combine the functionality and convenience of automated remote transmission with an existing garage door opener system. The intent of this project was to build a syst...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses radio frequency technology for automated identification. The use of RFID brings the second source of information to enterprise management. It is said the second source is because, in the conventional approach, the information is shared among the various units through an integrated enterprise system. In this study, we define three layers of networks, i....

This article presents two chipless RFID approaches where data are reading using electromagnetic waves and where the medium encoding the data is completely passive. The former approach rests on the use of RF waves. The tags are comparable with very specific, planar, conductive, radar targets where the relation between the tag geometry and its electromagnetic signature is perfectly known and is u...
