rfid (Radio-frequency identification)- an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. In general terms, there are two types of RFID transponders- passive and active.

• In simple terms, a Passive RFID tag is just that- passive. It just sits there and does nothing unless it is awakened. If a reader is nearby it comes to life:
  • The Passive RFID tag only activates when a reader is nearby to supply power
  • The reader sends out a radio frequency (RF) signal
  • The antennae on the tag produces a small amount of power from the magnetic field that results from the RF (radio frequency) signal
  • A response is transmitted from the tag back to the to the reader
    
• Active RFID tags have their own internal power source that can generate a signal a great distance from a reader.
  • The Active RFID tag incorporates a battery for power
  • Active RFID tags are more effective over distance, through water, etc.
