RFID TAGS???



Radio-Frequency Identification tags...

what are they?

it is an automatic identification method which can transmit and receive data using the RF ID tags and a RF ID receiver.

These can be available in cars, animal or people for uses such as tracking via radio frequencies emitted by the tags.

the tags themselves are based on 2 parts of the piece of technology,

1. the integrated circuit for storing and processing the data which the RF tag captures.

2. the antenna which is used for sending a receiving data.

they have already been put to use in places like libraries, retail stores and for tracking lost animals/pets and can now be applied to humans, the only problem is a power source for these tags.
