Radio Frequency Identification
Introduction
RFID is an acronym for Radio Frequency Identification. It is an automatic identification technique that helps to identify and track the objects, people or animals through radio frequency waves. This technology enables wireless data communications. Data storing and retrieving is done through electromagnetic transmission to an RF compatible integrated circuit. It provides a link to data without the need to make physical contact with the object and does not require line of sight communication.

The basic components of RFID systems are
