In the past, very little practical information or training has been available for engineers, technicians and students in the field of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems at ultra-high frequency (UHF) and super high frequency (SHF). Here, Dominique Paret offers a comprehensive guide to the theory, components, practical application areas and standards in RFID in the UHF and SHF. He strikes a balance between theory and technology experts, financial and other aspects, provides a clear view of the entire field. This book discusses the tangible aspects of contactless applications in detail, and is divided into five sections, covering: The basic principles, general considerations and the market, defines all the essential requirements and the different tags and applications. Comprehensive reference is ideal for computers and electronics engineers working on the design and development of RFID systems for the electronics industry, as well as for those in other industries such as automotive, security and transportation, who want to implement RFID in their business. Dominique Paret? The book is also a solid technical introduction and comprehensive to the subject for graduate students and researchers in electronics and industrial engineering design.
