Elements of a RFID system

A RFID system is composed of 2 elements:
1. the transponder (tag) which consists of a coupling element (antenna) to the reader
   and a microchip (IC) with read/write non-volatile memory (EEPROM)
     § attached or integrated on the object that has to be identified
2. the reader which contains of a RF-module, a controlling unit and a coupling element
   (antenna) to the transponder
     § read/write functions are available

Principle of RFID

 RFID offers an easy, flexible and reliable identification, tracing and controlling of
    objects and persons with the help of information technology.

            1. tagging                2. reading/writing              3. IT system

    Objects and persons that     The reader collects          The reader is able to use
    have to be identified are    information of the tag.      collected information
    attached with a tag.         With the use of a writing    autonomous or to give it
                                 unit new information can     to an IT system.
                                 be stored in the memory
                                 of the tag.

                                                                                             Page 4
