PASSIVE TAG [3 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
CONT

A passive tag is an RFID [radio frequency identification] tag that does not contain a battery; the power is supplied by the reader. When radio waves from the reader are encountered by a passive rfid tag, the coiled antenna within the tag forms a magnetic field. The tag draws power from it, energizing the circuits in the tag. The tag then sends the information encoded in the tag's memory.

Dispositif à identification par radiofréquence qui reflète et module un signal porteur émis par un interrogateur.

CONT

L'étiquette passive est composée seulement d'une puce et d'une antenne. L'alimentation est alors assurée par le courant induit dans l'antenne (qui est une bobine), grâce au champ électromagnétique du lecteur. L'[étiquette] ne s'active donc qu'en présence d'un lecteur, le reste du temps il n'émet rien.
