3. So what IS RFID?
Used for identifying unique objects through radio waves
The Reader -> The transponder
Active tags - contain their own power source (a battery) that is used to run the microchip's circuitry and to broadcast a signal to a reader
Passive tags – with no internal power source. Instead, they draw power from the reader;
Semi-passive tags - which use a battery to run the chip's circuitry, but communicate by drawing power from the reader.
