Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify objects.

RFID tags are made out of two pieces:

  • a microchip (an integrated circuit which stores and processes information and modulates and demodulates radio-frequency (RF) signals).
  • an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal.

According to operating frequency RFID tags can be:
