Readers have to be able to read in the particular frequency for the tag that is currently used and this 1s one of the challenges developer has to face with when installing an RFID system The three most common frequencies used are low frequency high frequency and ultra high frequency Table 2 1 shows the frequency level and range Table 2 1 The range for popular use of RFID frequency Low Frequency LF Up to 10 High Frequency HF 13 56 MHz Up to 20 Ultra High Frequency UHF 800 MHz 2 45 GHz 3 and up to 300 While readers and tags need to operate at the same frequency there are several other attributes that they must have in common in order to be fully compatible these attributes include encryption and decoding algorithms data content and format interface protocols and other technical specifications It a must to fully understand all of these attributes in order to ensure that the readers and tags will be able to interact 14 this project we use an active RFID reader that can only read the data from the RFID tag The reader will take the data that have been sent by RFID tag and sent it to the computer through the serial cable 2 3 Graphical User Interface In this project VB 6 0 was used to implement the GUI application The language in VB not only allows programmer to create simple GUI application but can also develop complex applications Programming in VB 15 a combination of visually arranging componen

If the Active RFID tag includes data such as a recorded temperature distance parameter or other relative information the Active RFID tag may transmit the data as well An Active RFID tags can effectively transmit to a receiver up to 100 meters away Passive RFID tags are also well known today A Passive RFID tag does not include a battery instead the Passive RFID tag has an integral antenna which receives RF signals from an Active RFID tag or remote transceiver The transmitted RF signals power the Passive RFID tag 1 the Passive RFID tag captures the energy of the RF signals which it receives and uses the energy to drive transceiver and other circuitry on the Passive RFID tag The transceiver circuitry on the Passive RFID tag transmits the identity coded into the Passive RFID to identify the product which bears the Passive RFID tag The Passive RFID tag may also include a memory to store any type of information transmitted by the Active RFID tag or other remote transceiver Typically Passive RFID tags have a smaller range detection of about three meters Other than those three types of RFID tags mentioned above there another type of RFID chip less RFID tag A chipless RFID tag also known as RF fibers is one that does not make use of any integrated circuit technology to store information The tag uses fibers or materials that reflect a portion of the reader s signal back and this unique return signal can be used as an identifier The f
