Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

An RFID system enables data to be transmitted by a transponder (tag) via radio signals which are received by an RFID interrogator and processed according to the needs of a particular application. At its simplest level, RFID may be seen as an alternative to the ubiquitous bar codes. With the ability to store, change and transmit much more data, RFID can be used to identify, track, sort or detect a wide variety of objects.


General Overview

TR 102 449 provides an overview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags in the telecommunications industry, called "Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking" or "TISPAN".


UHF RFID in specific standards

EN 302 208 "Radio Frequency Identification Equipment operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W"

SR 002 787 "Report for CESI-ETSI RFID PlugtestsTM event to investigate the interoperability of interrogators and tags manufactured by different vendors in a postal environment"


HF system at 13.56 MHz

EN 302 291 "Short Range Devices (SRD); Close Range Inductive Data Communication equipment operating at 13,56 MHz"

ES 202 007 "Close Range peer-to-peer symmetrical Data Communication (CRDC) system"


LF, MF, HF and UHF RFID in Generic Short Range Device standards

EN 300 220 "Short Range Devices (SRD); Radio equipment to be used in the 25 MHz to 1 000 MHz frequency range with power levels ranging up to 500 mW"

EN 300 330 "Short Range Devices (SRD); Technical characteristics and test methods for radio equipment in the frequency range 9 kHz to 25 MHz and inductive loop systems in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz"

EN 300 440 "Radio equipment to be used in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz frequency range"

TR 102 756 "System Reference Document for revised spectrum requirements for RFID equipment and inductive loop systems operating in the frequency range 9 kHz to 148,5 kHz"

Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI)

EN 300 761 "Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) for railways operating in the 2,45 GHz frequency range"


Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC)

EN 300 674 "Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) transmission equipment (500 kbit/s / 250 kbit/s) operating in the 5,8 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band"


EMC

In general, all RFID systems need to complay with EN 301 489 part 1 &-3 "ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services"
