Viac o knihe

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) enables contactless identification of objects through RF, with applications in secure internet payments, industrial automation, and access control. This technology is gaining attention in research and development across large corporations, marking a significant growth area in automatic identification. RFID facilitates safe traffic signal control for emergency vehicles and underpins contactless smart cards, autonomous vehicles, and production automation. The revised edition includes the latest industry standards and applications, serving as a comprehensive reference for RFID professionals. It features expanded sections detailing the operation of RFID systems and updates on new tags like smart labels. Coverage of RFID technologies includes electronic data carrier architecture and anticollision algorithms. The text also highlights contemporary applications such as smart labels, e-commerce, electronic purses, document tracking, and e-ticketing. An appendix provides current ISO standards and regulations, including ISO 14443 for contactless ticketing and ISO 15693 for smart labels. This resource is essential for practitioners in automatic identification and IT, engineers in security systems and microchip design, as well as graduate students in electronics and industrial engineering.
