The Insider's Guide to Working with RFID is a collection of the most popular and informative articles and guides found at RFID Insider, the widely regarded trade publication of atlasRFIDstore. These selected compositions range from RFID basics to intermediate topics and cover RFID concepts to frequently asked questions.

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) stores and retrieves data using devices called RFID tags: objects attached to or incorporated into a product, animal or person which communicate with an RFID reader or interrogator. This book proposes a linear two-port model for an N-stage modified-Greinacher full wave rectifier, predicting the overall conversion efficiency at low power levels where the diodes are operating near their threshold voltage. Included is an experimental procedure to measure how impedance modulation in the tag affects the signal at the reader, and a useful tool for choosing the most appropriate impedances.

In an age where technology relentlessly propels industries toward greater efficiency and innovation, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged as a pivotal force. This book delves into the multifaceted world of RFID, exploring its principles, applications, and transformative impact across various sectors. RFID technology, with its ability to wirelessly identify and track objects, has revolutionized processes in logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and beyond. From inventory management to enhancing security protocols, the applications of RFID are as diverse as they are profound. The genesis of RFID can be traced back to the mid-20th century, but it is in the recent decades that this technology has truly come of age. The convergence of advances in microelectronics, telecommunications, and data analytics has elevated RFID from a novel concept to an indispensable tool in the modern technological arsenal. This book is structured to cater to a broad audience, from seasoned professionals seeking to deepen their technical knowledge to business leaders aiming to understand the strategic advantages of RFID. The chapters provide a comprehensive overview, beginning with the fundamental principles of RFID technology, progressing through its various components such as tags, readers, and middleware, and culminating in detailed case studies that highlight successful implementations across different industries. Key topics covered include: The history and evolution of RFID technology Technical fundamentals: how RFID works Types of RFID systems: active, passive, and semi-passive RFID hardware: tags, antennas, and readers Software and data management in RFID systems Standards and regulations governing RFID use Integration with other technologies like IoT and blockchain Real-world applications and case studies Challenges and future trends in RFID technology Our aim is to provide readers with not only a thorough understanding of RFID technology but also the insights needed to harness its full potential. We believe that as RFID continues to evolve, it will unlock new opportunities and efficiencies, fundamentally altering how businesses operate and compete.
