An Introduction to RFID and Tagging Technologies

Overview Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the use of radio frequencies to read information on a small device known as a tag. Currently, these tags may take many forms: for example, the microchip may be the tag because it has a tiny antenna on it, or the tag may look like banknote security ribbon. It is important to note that some RFID tags have a microchip in them and some do not.
