  • Abstract
    This article discusses the basics of passive RFID technologies, with an emphasis on tags, for general readers and entry- level practitioners. Following a brief history of RFID, it describes the types of tags and their operation, and regulations and frequency ranges. It then presents representative applications and describes the major technical hurdles still to be overcome before the adoption of RFID can be widespread, and offers a vision of the technology´s future.
