Analysis of UHF ISO/IEC 14443 Gen 2 RFID Technology

ISO/IEC 14443 is an International Standard for identification cards, contactless integrated circuit chips. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an ISO/IEC 14443 proximity card; integrating Radio Frequency (RF) power and signal interface. RFID is a wireless communication which is used to record the presence of an article using radio waves. Analysis of RFID technology elaborates on the concepts evolving RFID, components of the RF network, understanding the fundamentals of how the data travels in waves into the framework. The exploration of the system such as architecture, characteristics, the classes of RF tags and the diversity of low- , high- , ultra high- , microwave frequency ranges are deliberated. Pros and cons of electromagnetic field identification ? near field and far field communication are also identified. Applications of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) ISO/IEC 14443 RFID technology are analyzed.
