RFID-What it is?

(RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and


remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

•RFID (radio frequency identification) is a technology that


incorporates the use of electromagnetic or electrostatic
coupling in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object,
animal, or person.

•An alternative to bar code.

•RFID is also called dedicated short range communication (DSRC)


HISTORY OF RFID

• Invented in 1948 by Harry Stockman.

• Initial application was during World War II-The United


Kingdom used RFID devices to distinguish returning
English airplanes from inbound German ones. RADAR
was only able to signal the presence of a plane, not
the kind of plane it was..

• Came into commercial use only in 1990
