RFID Handbook: Fundamentals and Applications in Contactless Smart Cards and Identification, Second Edition (Repost)

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is used in all areas of automatic data capture allowing contactless identification of objects using RF. With applications ranging from secure internet payment systems to industrial automation and access control, RFID technology solutions are receiving much attention in the research and development departments of large corporations. RFID is a major growth are in auto ID, allowing emergency vehicles to safely trip traffic signals, and providing the technology behind contactless smart cards, "autopiloting" cars, and production automation. Fully revised and updated to include all the latest information on industry standards and applications, this new edition provides a standard reference for people working with RFID technology. Expanded sections explain exactly how RFID systems work, and provide up-to-date information on the development of new tags such as the smart label. Updated coverage of RFID technologies, including electron data carrier architecture and common algorithms for anticollision Details the latest RFID applications, such as the smartlabel, e-commerce and the electronic purse, document tracking and e-ticketing Detailed appendix providing up-to-date information on relevant ISO standards and regulations, including descriptions of ISO 14443 for contactless ticketing and ISO 15693 covering the smartlabel Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–9): Chapter 2 Differentiation Features of RFID Systems (pages 11–28): Chapter 3 Fundamental Operating Principles (pages 29–59): Chapter 4 Physical Principles of RFID Systems (pages 61–159): Chapter 5 Frequency Ranges and Radio Licensing Regulations (pages 161–181): Chapter 6 Coding and Modulation (pages 183–193): Chapter 7 Data Integrity (pages 195–219): Chapter 8 Data Security (pages 221–227): Chapter 9 Standardisation (pages 229–271): Chapter 10 The Architecture of Electronic Data Carriers (pages 273–307): Chapter 11 Readers (pages 309–328): Chapter 12 The Manufacture of Transponders and Contactless Smart Cards (pages 329–339): Chapter 13 Example Applications (pages 341–393): Chapter 14 Appendix (pages 394–418):
