RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is used in all areas ofautomatic data capture allowing contactless identification ofobjects using RF. With applications ranging from secure internetpayment systems to industrial automation and access control, RFIDtechnology solutions are receiving much attention in the researchand development departments of large corporations. RFID is a majorgrowth are in auto ID, allowing emergency vehicles to safely triptraffic signals, and providing the technology behind contactlesssmart cards, "autopiloting" cars, and production automation. Fullyrevised and updated to include all the latest information onindustry standards and applications, this new edition provides astandard reference for people working with RFID technology.Expanded sections explain exactly how RFID systems work, andprovide up-to-date information on the development of new tags suchas the smart label.
* Updated coverage of RFID technologies, including electron datacarrier architecture and common algorithms for anticollision
* Details the latest RFID applications, such as the smartlabel,e-commerce and the electronic purse, document tracking ande-ticketing
* Detailed appendix providing up-to-date information on relevantISO standards and regulations, including descriptions of ISO 14443for contactless ticketing and ISO 15693 covering thesmartlabel
A leading edge reference for this rapidly evolving technology, thistext is of interest to practitioners in auto ID and IT designingRFID products and end-users of RFID technology, computer andelectronics engineers in security system development and microchipdesigners, automation, industrial and transport engineers andmaterials handling specialists. Also a valuable resource forgraduate level students in electronics and industrial engineeringdesign.
