RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags and RF (Radio Frequency) tags are actually different names for the same technology. They are both based on radio frequency technology and are used to wirelessly identify and track objects. RFID tags are an application of RFID technology. They consist of a chip and an antenna, and can communicate with radio frequency readers under the action of wireless radio frequency signals. RFID tags include two types: passive tags and active tags. Passive tags do not have built-in batteries and are powered by the radio frequency energy of the reader and perform corresponding functions. Active tags have built-in batteries and can actively send signals to communicate with the reader. RF tags (Radio Frequency) usually refer to passive RFID tags because they are the most common and widely used type of RFID tags.
RFID tags have the following advantages over RF tags:
1.No linear line of sight required: RFID tags can be read and written through the surface of an object without directly aligning it with the reader, while RF tags usually require a good line of sight.
2.Automatic recognition capability: RFID tags can recognize multiple tags at the same time without scanning them one by one, which can greatly improve recognition efficiency.
3.Long-distance identification: RFID tags can achieve long-distance wireless identification, usually within a few meters to tens of meters, while the identification distance of RF tags is relatively short.
4.Large-capacity storage: RFID tag chips can store more data, such as product information, batch numbers, etc., while RF tags can usually only store less data.
5.Powerful application areas: Due to the advantages of RFID tags in many aspects, they are widely used in logistics management, inventory control, item tracking, identity authentication and other fields.
