Abstract
The roles of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems over the frequency range of 125 kHz through 2.45 GHz are discussed in this chapter.

RFID is classified according to energy source of the tag/card as “passive” or “active,” or according to the type of propagation link—near field or far field.
