Synopsis

A comprehensive and timely reference on RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology covering the fundamental techniques and principles, and looking at current and potential applications. RFID is used in all areas of automatic data capture allowing contactless identification of objects using RF, from ticketing to industrial automation. This book brings together the disparate information on this fast-growing technology and features include:

* Introduction to the essential operating criteria and physical principles of RFID systems

* The latest information in 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 this introduction to the basic functionality and the physical principles underlying this new technology.
