R F I D Presented by Kerry Wong
What is RFID? • Radio Frequency IDentification • Analogous to electronic barcode • Uses radio waves to send info • Serial numbers for identifying product • Allows automatic collection of data • Keep track of large number of movable items • Can send info to computer for storage
Components: Reader • Transmitter • carrier frequency generator, gap signal gate, and an antenna circuit • Constantly sends out radio signal ~ one carrier frequency • Receiver • peak detector, a signal amplifier/filter, signal-collision detector, and microcontroller • Uses envelop detector of received AM modulated signal to get the FSK ‘0’ or ‘1’ • Half Wave Rectifier
Components: Tag • Transponder • Microchip (silicon chip) with LC antenna • Passive Tags ~ Smart Labels • Induced Current from receiver • Active Tags • Needs battery • Reflects back or transmit signal • Amplitude Modulates Carrier Frequency • Uses FSK for ‘1’ or ‘0’ • Ie: ‘1’ = fc/10 ‘0’=fc/8
Advantages • Don’t need line of sight • Allows movement • Variety of Ranges • 10-20 feet (passive); 100-1000 feet (active) • Can have several • Bi-directional • Tag data content can be altered • Stores about 2Kbytes of data
Disadvantages • Can’t use around metal and liquids • Reader Collision • One tag read twice • for overlapped readers • Tag Collision • Sol’n: Uses type of TDMA • Gap pulse begins random countdown
Applications • Car Identification • Animal Tagging • Pets and livestock • Airport Baggage Tracking • Product Tracking • Wireless payment systems • Building access cards
