RFID Transponders

Abstract

The objective of this article is to review radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, its developments on RFID transponders, design and operating principles, so that end users can benefit from knowing which transponder meets their requirements. In this article, RFID system definition, RFID transponder architecture and RFID transponder classification based on a comprehensive literature review on the field of research are presented. Detailed descriptions of these tags are also presented, as well as an in-house developed semiactive tag in a compact package.
