As we have already seen, RFID tags work by emitting very low frequency radio waves. This action is caused by the chip and the antenna in the tag. Also known as an “integrated circuit”, the chip stores all of the asset’s information/data. It’s the antenna that receives and then transmits those very low frequency radio waves.
The tags do not have any power source, in case you were wondering. They are merely powered by the radio waves that they are sent. The antenna that was previously mentioned is not the type of antenna that you may expect. This is because it’s very small. So small in fact that the antenna, the tag, and everything else it contains only weighs a few grams.
The reader that you use alongside the RFID tracking app receives the radio waves that the tag sends out. Those radio waves are interpreted and translated, as such, and turned into data that you can read. RFID tags and readers provide an easy way for people everywhere to track their assets. Both individuals and businesses alike use tags and readers to locate their assets and get peace of mind.
