Basic Introduction to
Common RFID Components
The design and implementation of a successful radio frequency identication (RFID) system is a
complex process. One of the most important sets of decisions that the RFID engineer must make
involves the selection of individual system components. Making informed decisions with respect to
this process will increase the probability of producing a fully functional reliable system. Conversely,
less-than-informed decisions can easily result in a poorly performing system or even worse, having
to redesign the system from scratch. A poor implementation of any new technology such as RFID
can increase the r ...
