Session Description
RFID- An Automatic Identification and Data Capturing Technology used worldwide for automation and control
ZigBee - A very low cost, low power consumption two-way, wireless mesh network communications standard for automation and control
What is RFID?What is RFID?
• RFID is an ADC(Automatic Data Identification and Capturing) technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize, track...
• RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item
What Constitutes an RFID System?What Constitutes an RFID System?
• One or more RFID tags
• One or more antennas
• One or more interrogators
• One or more host computers or Embedded Systems
• Appropriate software

RFID OperationRFID Operation
Sequence of CommunicationSequence of Communication• Host Manages Reader(s) and Issues Commands• Reader and tag communicate via RF signal• Carrier signal generated by the reader (upon request
from the host application)• Carrier signal sent out through the antennas• Carrier signal hits tag(s)• Tag receives and modifies carrier signal
– “sends back” modulated signal
• Antennas receive the modulated signal and send them to the Reader
• Reader decodes the data– Results returned to the host application
RFID OperationsRFID Operations
What is RFID? -- The TagsWhat is RFID? -- The Tags
• Tags can be read-only or read-write• Tag memory can be factory or field programmed,
partitionable, and optionally permanently locked• Bytes left unlocked can be
rewritten over more than100,000 times
• Tag ID Only
• Programmable Database Pointer
• Mission Critical Information
• Portable Database
• Read Only (Factory Programmed)
• WORM - Write Once, Read Many times
• Reprogrammable (Field Programmable)
• Read/Write (In-Use Programmable)
RFID System BasicsRFID System Basics
Tags can be attached to almost anything:
– pallets or cases of product– vehicles– company assets or personnel– items such as apparel,
luggage, laundry– people, livestock, or pets– high value electronics such
as computers, TVs, camcorders
What is RFID? -- The TagsWhat is RFID? -- The Tags
Are All Tags The Same?Are All Tags The Same?
Basic Types:Active
• Tag transmits radio signal• Battery powered memory, radio & circuitry• High Read Range (300 feet)
Passive• Tag reflects radio signal from reader• Reader powered• Shorter Read Range (4 inches - 15 feet)
Variations:– Memory
• Size (16 bits - 512 kBytes +)• Read-Only, Read/Write or WORM• Type: EEProm, Antifuse, FeRam
– Arbitration (Anti-collision)• Ability to read/write one or
many tags at a time– Frequency
• 125KHz - 5.8 GHz– Physical Dimensions
• Thumbnail to Brick sizes – Price (Rs15 to Rs 250)

What is RFID? -- The ReadersWhat is RFID? -- The Readers• Readers (interrogators) can be at a
fixed point such as– Entrance/exit– Point of sale– Warehouse
• Readers can also be mobile -- tethered, hand-held, or wireless

WHAT IS ZIGBEE?WHAT IS ZIGBEE?
A very low cost, low power consumption two-way,
wireless communications standard for automation,
toys, & PC peripherals etc.
The Need for ZigBee
Low Power consumption6 months to 5 years battery life for most applications
Low CostAt least half the cost of Bluetooth solutions
High density of nodes per network250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks
Data rate requirements Few bits to 250kbps sufficient
Simple protocol, Global Implementation2.4GHz
Standard in a fragmented marketMany proprietary solutions, interoperability issuesPent up demand due to lack of standard
Objective of ZigBee
• Interoperable consumer devices• Open industry specification• Peripheral, control and entertainment
devices Lowest cost and lowest power consumption
• Anywhere in and around the home
