We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RFID",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release NFC chip extends battery life from
Inside Contactless, which we summarised at the time by saying "The multihost router technology built into the MicroRead chip provides the capacity to implement any secure element, including SIM, SE or SD card, to support any business model".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release RFID tags handle barcode jobs from
IMEC: "The new RFID system consists of a low-cost inductive antenna, capacitor, plastic rectifier and plastic circuit, all on foil".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Tektronix
concerning its RSA3300B and RSA3408B
- take a look at Analysers provide live RF view of the spectrum
which says: "Unprecedented RF signal discovery capability for a broad range of digital RF applications including RFID, radiocommunications and spectrum management".
Take a look also at the news release from Premo Group, Tiny antenna works any way up,
as well as Tiny antenna goes onboard SRDs from Johanson Technology,
and Learn RFID basics online from Abhisam Software.
