A paradigm shift in passive RFID tag development and manufacturing flexibility to provide active tag functionality
September 24, 2015
Passive RFID is rapidly expanding for asset tracking while simultaneously opening broader fronts in passive communications and sensing as a platform technology. As technology improves and power requirements are lowered, the possibilities for increased flexibility bring about new “RFID” opportunities with active functionality (e.g., a Passive Camera). In addition, new manufacturing technologies can now provide flexibility and cost advantages for early stage developers when compared to ASIC ICs. This paper addresses a potential security application and other applications including passive camera technologies, inter-chip systems communications on an RFID tag, and new core prototyping and manufacturing technologies to accelerate development in the total RFID space.
