INTRODUCTION
RFID STANDS FOR RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION.
IT IS A TECHNOLOGY THAT USES RADIO WAVES TO
IDENTIFY A TAGGED OBJECT. RFID TAG DATA CAN READ
OUTSIDE THE LINE OF SIGHT, WHEREAS BARCODES
MUST BE ALIGNED WITH AN OPTICAL SCANNER. IT WAS
DEVELOPED IN 1970’S, IT HAS BECOME MORE
UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE IN RECENT YEARS. WITH
ADVANCEMENT TO THE TECHNOLOGY USED TO READ
AND STORE INFORMATION. IT REALLY SMALL IN SIZE BUT
HOLD LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA.
HISTORY
In 1945, a listening device was invented which
retransmitted radio waves with audio information.
It is considered to be a predecessor of RFID
because it was passive and activated by waves
from an outside source.
On January 23,1973 Mario Curdullo’s device was
the first true ancestor of modern RFID. It presented
to investors in 1969 showed it uses in
transportation, banking, security, and medical.
DESIGN & HOW IT WORKS
RFID system will be presented with the design
algorithms and electronics circuit. The hardware
design and a complete analysis of the software
application and the program for both Tag and
Reader will be explained.
RFID tags contain at least three parts: a scanning
antenna, an integrated circuit, and that
modulates and demodulates radio frequency(RF)
signals and an RFID reader.
 TYPES OF RFID TAGS
RFID tags are of two types;

1. ACTIVE TAGS:
Active RFID tags
uses an internal battery source to
power their circuitry and send radio
signals.

2. PASSIVE TAGS: ACTIVE RFID TAG

Passive RFID tags

have no battery source and rely on
the electromagnetic coupling of an
antenna for their power.

PASSIVE RFID TAG

ADVANTAGES OF RFID

RFID wireless technology has provided benefits to

logistics, inventory control , and retail industries.
When compared with barcodes and other
manual scanning system, RFID has some
advantages, including;

 Scanning multiple items simultaneously

 Reduced cost
 Read and write capabilities
 No line of sight issues
 DISADVANTAGES OF RFID
RFID problems can be divided into these categories:
1. TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH RFIDSS:
 Problems with RFID standards
 RFID systems can be easily disrupted
 RFID reader collision
 RFID tag collision
2. SECURITY, PRIVACY AND ETHICS PROBLEMS WITH RFID:
 The content of and RFID tag can be read after the item leaves
the supply chain
 RFID tags are difficult to remove
 RFID tags can be read without your knowledge
 RFID tags can be read a greater distances with a high-gain
antenna
 RFID tags with unique serial numbers could be linked to an
individual credit card number
USES OF RFID
RFID can be used in variety of departments, such
as in transportation payments, animal
identification, passports, commerce,
transportation and logistics, infrastructure
management and logistics etc.
