A Technical RFID Primer

Posted by Hemos on from the learn-more-about-it dept.

gManZboy writes "Roy Want, principal engineer at Intel Research, has a pretty meaty technical overview of RFID up at Queue. If you ever wondered how these little things actually work it's worth a read. For instance, I was intrigued to find out how the tags (which are generally battery-free) can absorb enough energy from RFID readers to then power up and transmit their own signal back to the reader."

  1. Who submitted this crap by razmaspaz · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I can't figure out who actually submitted this story, but it seems the summary was "written" by gManZboy and the Article was written by Edward Grossman or gMan. Is this a shameless self promotion of a website? I can't find this guy as a user on slashdot either. Clicking on his name just takes me to the site. Did Hemos just find this on the net and think it was interesting? Anyone know?
