Abstract

RFID technology is a pattern of automatic identification and a kind of wireless communication technology. It can be applied to different aspects in our life. RFID technology has developed rapidly in the recent years and has enabled the use of low cost electronic tags (EPC). RFID technology is expected to develop into a huge internet of things in the future. Therefore, it has a great potential in the new information age. This thesis introduces the system structure, operating principles, application areas and development trends of RFID technology, discusses the Electronic Toll Collection system as an application of RFID technology and reflects on the future of RFID.
