RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) radio frequency technology, that is, wireless radio frequency identification technology, is a kind of automatic diagnosis technology, through the wireless radio frequency way to carry on the non-contact two-way data communication, uses the wireless radio frequency way to the record media (the electronic label or the radio frequency card) to carry on the read-write, so as to achieve the recognition target and the data exchange purpose. The following is a detailed explanation of RFID radio frequency technology realization:
The basic composition of the RFID system
1、RFID system mainly by the reader, electronic tags and data management system consists of three parts: 1. Reader: reader is the core equipment of the RFID system, is responsible for reading or writing the information in the electronic tags. It usually consists of a coupling module, transceiver module, control module and interface unit, capable of transmitting a specific frequency of radio frequency signals, activate the electronic tags into its working area, and receive the information returned by the tag. The control unit inside the reader demodulates and decodes the received signals, and finally transmits the valid information to the background system for processing.
2、Electronic tags: Electronic tags are the information carrier in the RFID system, usually consisting of a built-in antenna and an RFID chip. The chip stores the identification information of the item to be recognized, such as a globally unique ID code. Electronic tags can be induced by a magnetic field (passive tags) or their own power (in active tags) to obtain energy, after activation of their own code information through the built-in antenna sent to the reader.
3、Data management system: the data management system is responsible for decoding, processing and application of the data read by the reader. Through the communication interface of the reader, the data management system can obtain the data in the electronic label in real time and realize the tracking, monitoring and management of the articles.
How RFID technology works
The working principle of RFID technology is to use radio frequency signal space propagation to realize information reading and writing. Specific workflow includes the reader transmits radio frequency signals, the tag enters the magnetic field area to be activated, sends the data information, the reader receives and decodes, the background system processing and control actuator operation. The specific process is as follows:
1. The reader sends a certain frequency radio frequency signal through the transmitting antenna, forms an electromagnetic field area, that is, for its working range.
2. When the electronic label enters the magnetic field area of the transmitting antenna, by the spatial coupling effect will produce the inductive current, the electronic label microchip circuit obtains the energy to be activated.
3. After the activation of the electronic label, will own code and other data information modulation to the carrier wave, and then through the card built-in transmitting antenna to send out.
4. The reader receives the antenna to receive the electronic label to send to the carrier wave signal, and transmits to the reader, the data processing circuit to receive the signal which contains the data information to carry on the demodulation and the decoding, then sends to the background system to carry on the further processing.
5. The main system through the logic operation confirms that the card is legal, makes the corresponding judgment and the control according to the different prior setting, then sends the command signal to control the actuator to carry on the corresponding operation.
Technical parameters of RFID technology
The technical parameters of RFID technology involve a number of aspects, including frequency, tag type, read/write distance, data storage capacity, data transmission rate, anti-collision mechanism, error rate, anti-jamming capability and security. These parameters have an important impact on the performance and application range of RFID systems. Among them, frequency is a key parameter of RFID system, and different frequencies are suitable for different application scenarios. For example, low-frequency electromagnetic wave has strong penetration ability but short propagation distance; high-frequency electromagnetic wave has higher data transmission rate but poorer penetration ability; UHF and microwave systems have longer identification distance and higher data transmission rate.
Application Scenarios of RFID Technology
With its unique advantages, RFID technology has been widely used in many fields, including but not limited to the following:
1. Logistics management: In the field of logistics, RFID technology is widely used in cargo tracking, inventory management, transportation monitoring and other aspects. By attaching RFID tags to the goods, logistics companies can obtain real-time information on the location and status of the goods to improve the efficiency and accuracy of logistics.
2. Asset management: RFID technology also has significant advantages in asset management. By attaching RFID tags to assets, companies can track the location of assets in real time, use and other information to improve asset utilization and management efficiency.
3. Manufacturing: In the field of manufacturing, RFID technology is used in production line automation, product tracking and other aspects. By attaching RFID tags to products, manufacturers can obtain real-time information on the production progress and quality of products to improve production efficiency and product quality.
4. Identification: RFID technology is also widely used in identification. For example, access control systems, parking lot control and other scenes are often used RFID technology.
Trends in RFID Technology
With the continuous progress of technology and growing application demand, RFID technology will usher in more development opportunities and challenges. The future development trend of RFID technology may include:
1. Higher Frequency and Longer Distance: In order to meet the needs of a wider range of applications, RFID technology will develop in the direction of higher frequency and longer distance. This will enable RFID technology to be used in more fields, such as drone tracking, intelligent transportation and so on.
2. Smaller tags and lower costs: As technology advances, RFID tags will become smaller, lighter and cheaper. This will enable RFID technology to be popularized in more fields, such as retail, healthcare, etc.
3. Stronger security and privacy protection: With the wide application of RFID technology, security and privacy protection issues will be more and more concerned. Future RFID technology will use more advanced encryption algorithms and authentication mechanisms to ensure data security and privacy.
4. Integration with other technologies: Future RFID technology will be deeply integrated with other technologies such as Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, etc. to form a more intelligent and automated application solutions. This will enable RFID technology to play a greater role in more areas.
