RFID technology is a swiftly emerging section in a number of industries. Although it is being gazed at for use in numerous applications, testing RFID systems throughout the development and installation process vestiges a challenge. Use of the most recent invention of auto-tuned spectrum analyzer products and the demodulation abilities available with vector signal analysis offers a feasible means of tackling these challenges and are assisting in the pervasive espousal of RFID technology.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology offers the facility to locate the movement of objects. Meanwhile RFID has been publicized as the next development in consumer goods supply-chain management. The primary components in RFID Technology consist of

• Antenna

• Transponder / Tag

• Transceiver / Reader

• Middleware

Various Spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and other devices are particularly used in the analysis of transient signals. RFID application confronts engineering dimensions in numerous ways that are used for wireless development tests in R&D and manufacturing environments.

The Advantages of RFID vs. Barcode Technology:

• The tag can withstand in an abrasive environment

• It provides a long read range

• It provides a convenient database

• Multiple tags read/write can be done through a single reader

• Tracking people, items, and possessions in real-time

Benefits of RFID:

• RFID can greatly ease the tracking of assets which decreases the loss or misplacement of goods

• Minimizes the labor to find assets, and provides additional security

• The RFID tags can send different types of alerts when the asset is moved without proprietors consent or moved to an abandoned location

• The use of RFID tags for document tracking greatly diminishes the time spent searching for books or documents, misplaced documents, files, materials can be easily tracked down thus improving the organizations performance

• The use of RFID boosts security for receptive materials and provides extra authentication

• Cost reduction, improved efficiency, and better visibility of product are some serious business benefits in implementing RFID technology

It all comes down to price when you talk about profit and Goodwill of any organization. So, it is not astonishing that RFID technology is at present used for assets, records and people tracking. There is enormous potential in RFID technology to be used in people tracking, supply chain, in retail and in manufacturing. Pharmaceutical industry and airline industry are few businesses expecting a lot more from RFID Technology to enhance their businesses.
