7.4 THE WIRELESS REVOLUTION : RFID AND WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK


RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID)


How RFID works.
  1.  RFID is sytems provide the powerful technology for tracking the movement of goods through out the supply chain.
  2. RFID system use tiny tags with embedded microchips containing data about an item and its location to transmit radio signal over short distance to RFID readers.
  3. The reader unit consists of an antenna and radio transmitter with a decoding capability attached to a stationary or handhend device. 
  4. The reader emits radio waves in ranges anywhere from one inch to hundred feet, depending on its power output, the radio frequency employed, and surrounding environmental condition.
  5. The reader captures data, decodes them, and sends them back over a wired or wireless network to a host computer for further processing.

WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

  1. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are ntwork of interconnected wireless devices that are embedded into the physical environment to provide measurements of many points over large spaces.
  2. These devices have built-in processing storage, and radio frequency sensors and antennas.
  3. They are linked into an interconnected network that routes the data they capture to a computer for analysis.
