SUMMARY

In this lesson, we will describe Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags. RFID tags are small, wireless devices that use radio waves to identify and track objects. They consist of a microchip and an antenna, and can be attached to or embedded in a variety of objects to enable automated data collection and management.

We will begin with a brief introduction to the structure of RFID tags.
Then we explain the different types of RFID tags.
Finally, we will explain what to consider when choosing the right RFID tags for your application.
