Synopsis

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is used in all areas of automatic data capture allowing contactless identification of objects using RF. This reference on RFID technology and application, shows how RFID is set to be the major growth area in automatic identification in the near future with the biggest boom in supertag technology and anti-collision protocol. The Supertag is expected to replace the barcode as the dominant logistics auto ID technology. As a single source reference for ADC professionals, coverage spans frequency ranges and regulations, coding, data integrity, cryptography, and standards. For end-users, the text explains how RFID systems work with examples illustrating the broad applications, potential and benefits.

From the Back Cover

Rfid Handbook Radio-Frequency Identification Fundamentals and Applications Klaus Finkenzeller Giesecke & Devrient GmbH, Munich, Germany Translated by Rachel Waddington Swadlincote, UK Contactless smart card technology explained. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is used in all areas of automatic data capture allowing contactless identification of objects using RF. From ticketing to industrial automation and access control, the applications of RFID are burgeoning. Finkenzeller's comprehensive handbook brings together the disparate information on this developing technology. Features include:
* Introduction to the essential operating criteria and physical principles of RFID systems
* The latest information on the standards requirements, manufacture and applications of contactless smart cards
* Coverage of the practical challenges to be considered in real-world applications of RFID from public transport to electronic immobilisation
* Description of coding and modulation, the differentiation features of RFID systems and international standards
* Examination of radio frequency ranges used and international licensing controls including the US-FCC radio regulation standards
ADC professionals will profit from the detailed overview of current technologies, the legal guidelines and the breadth of applications examples combined within this single resource. End users of RFID products and electrical engineering postgraduates will appreciate the introduction to the basic functionality and the physical principles underlying this new technology.
