RFID, Current Status, Challenges, and Opportunities Yen-Hung Chen, Ph.D. Computer Science and Information Engineering / International College Ming-Chuan University A Scene from Mission Impossible (1996) … The federal agent in charge of the most secrete FBI database was tagged with a piece of fabric less than an eighth of an inch square.

RFID Market 10 millions in 2002. 91.5 millions in 2003. 3.1 billions (1.3 billions for retail alone) in 2008. Minimum growth rate of 23% annually. IDC (Jan. 2004), The Freedonia Group (Dec. 2003), Insight Research (Dec. 2003), ABI (Jul. 2003). RFID Tag Attributes Passive RFID Tags “Traditional” tags used in retail security applications Tag can be programmed at manufacture or on installation Tag is powered by the high power electromagnetic field generated by the antennas – usually in doorways The field allows the chip/
