RFID Tags
What is RFID : RFID tagging is an ID system that uses small radio frequency identification devices for identification and tracking purposes. An RFID tagging system includes the tag itself, a read or write device, and a host system application for data collection, processing, and transmission. An RFID tag consists of a chip , some memory and an antenna. RFID tags that contain their own power source are known as active tags. Those without a power source are known as passive tags. A passive tag is briefly activated by the radio frequency scan of the reader. The electrical current is small, enough for transmission of an ID number. Active tags have more memory and can be read at greater ranges.
