INTRODUCTION:
RFID is the special type wireless card which has inbuilt the
embedded chip along with loop antenna. The inbuilt embedded chip
represents the 12 digit card number. RFID reader is the circuit which
generates 125KHZ magnetic signal. This magnetic signal is transmitted by
the loop antenna connected along with this circuit which is used to read the
RFID card number.
In this project RFID card is used as security access card. So each
product has the individual RFID card which represents the product name.
RFID reader is interfaced with microcontroller. Here the microcontroller is
the flash type reprogrammable microcontroller in which we already
programmed with card number. The microcontroller is interfaced with
keypad.

HISTORY:
In 1946 Lon Theremin invented an espionage tool for the Soviet Union
which retransmitted incident radio waves with audio information. Sound
waves vibrated a diaphragm which slightly altered the shape of the
resonator, which modulated the reflected radio frequency. Even though
this device was a passive covert listening device, not an identification
tag, it has been attributed as a predecessor to RFID technology. The
technology used in RFID has been around since the early 1920s
according to one source (although the same source states that RFID
systems have been around just since the late 1960s)
Similar technology, such as the IFF transponder invented in the
United Kingdom in 1939, was routinely used by the allies in World War
II to identify aircraft as friend or foe. Transponders are still used by
most powered aircraft to this day.
Another early work exploring RFID is the landmark 1948 paper
by Harry Stockman, titled "Communication by Means of Reflected
Power" (Proceedings of the IRE, pp 11961204, October 1948).
Stockman predicted that "considerable research and development
work has to be done before the remaining basic problems in reflectedpower communication are solved, and before the field of useful
applications is explored."
Mario Cardullo's U.S. Patent 3,713,148 in 1973 was the first true
ancestor of modern RFID; a passive radio transponder with memory.
The initial device was passive, powered by the interrogating signal, and
was demonstrated in 1971 to the New York Port Authority and other
potential users and consisted of a transponder with 16 bit memory for
~5~
use as a toll device. The basic Cardullo patent covers the use of RF,
sound and light as transmission media. The original business plan
presented to investors in 1969 showed uses in transportation
(automotive vehicle identification, automatic toll system, electronic
license plate, electronic manifest, vehicle routing, vehicle performance
monitoring), banking (electronic check book, electronic credit card),
security (personnel identification, automatic gates, surveillance) and
medical (identification, patient history).
A very early demonstration of reflected power (modulated
backscatter) RFID tags, both passive and semi-passive, was performed
by Steven Depp, Alfred Koelle and Robert Freyman at the Los Alamos
National Laboratory in 1973[2]. The portable system operated at
915 MHz and used 12-bit tags. This technique is used by the majority of
today's UHFID and microwave RFID tags.
The first patent to be associated with the abbreviation RFID was granted
to Charles Walton in 1983

INTRODUCTION TO RIFD
Libraries began using RFID systems to replace their electro-
magnetic and bar code systems in the late 1990s. Approximately 130
libraries in North America are using RFID systems, but hundreds more
are considering it (Molnar, Wagner, 2004). The primary cost impediment
is the price of each individual tag. Today, tags cost approximately
seventy-five cents but prices continue to fall. However, privacy concerns
associated with item-level tagging is another significant
Impediment to library use of RFID tags. The problem with todays
library RFID systems is that the tags contain static information that can
be relatively easily read by unauthorized tag readers. This allows for
~6~
and the application that makes use of the data the reader reads on the
tag. Tag Also known as a transponder, the tag consists of an antenna and
silicon chip encapsulated in glass or plastic (Want, 2004). The tags
contain a very small amount of information. For example, many tags
contain only a bar code number and security bit (128 bits) but some tags
~7~
contain as much as 1,024 bits (Boss, 2003). Tags range in size from the
size of a grain of rice to two inch squares depending on their
application. Researchers are now working on tags as small as a speck of
dust (Cavoukian, February 2004). Tags can be passive, active or semiactive. An active tag contains some type of power source on the tag,
whereas the passive tags rely on the radio signal sent by the reader for
Power. Most RFID applications today utilize passive tags because they
are so much cheaper to manufacture. However, the lack of power poses
significant restrictions on the tags ability to perform computations and
communicate with the reader. It must be within range of the reader to
function. Semi-active tags are not yet commercially available but will
use a battery to run the microchips circuitry but not to communicate
with the reader. Semi-active tags rely on
Capacitive coupling and carbon ink for the antennas rather than the
traditional inductive coupling and silver or aluminum antenna used in
passive tags (Collins, 2004). Tags operate over a range of frequencies.
Passive tags can be low frequency (LF) or high frequency (HF). LF tags
operate at 125 KHz, are relatively expensive, and have a low read range
(less than 0.5 meters). HF tags operate at 13.56 MHz, have a longer read
range (approximately 1 meter) and are less expensive that LF tags. Most
library applications use HF tags (Allied Business Intelligence [ABI],
2002). Tags can be Read Only (RO), Write Once Read Many (WORM)
or Read Write (RW) (Boss, 2003). RO tags are preprogrammed with a
unique number like a serial number (or perhaps eventually an ISBN
number). WORM tags are preprogrammed but additional information
can be added if space permits. RW tags can be updated dynamically.
Sometimes space on the RW tags is locked where permanent data is kept
and the rest of the tag is writable.

RFID TAGS
RFID tags come in three general varieties:- passive, active, or
~ 10 ~
PASSIVE
Passive RFID tags have no internal power supply. The minute electrical
current induced in the antenna by the incoming radio frequency signal
provides just enough power for the CMOS integrated circuit in the tag to
power up and transmit a response. Most passive tags signal by
backscattering the carrier wave from the reader. This means that the
antenna has to be designed both to collect power from the incoming
signal and also to transmit the outbound backscatter signal. The
response of a passive RFID tag is not necessarily just an ID number; the
tag chip can contain non-volatile data, possibly writable EEPROM for
storing data.
Passive tags have practical read distances ranging from about 11 cm (4
in) with near-field (ISO 14443), up to approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
with far-field (ISO 18000-6) and can reach up to 183 meters (600 feet) [5]
when combined with a phased array. Basically, the reading and writing
depend on the chosen radio frequency and the antenna design/size. Due
to their simplicity in design they are also suitable for manufacture with a
printing process for the antennas. The lack of an onboard power supply
means that the device can be quite small: commercially available
~ 11 ~
products exist that can be embedded in a sticker, or under the skin in the
case of low frequency (LowFID) RFID tags.
In 2007, the Danish Company RFIDsec developed a passive RFID with
privacy enhancing technologies built-in including built-in firewall
access controls, communication encryption and a silent mode ensuring
that the consumer at point of sales can get exclusive control of the key
to control the RFID. The RFID will not respond unless the consumer
authorizes it, the consumer can validate presence of a specific RFID
without leaking identifiers and therefore the consumer can make use of
the RFID without being trackable or otherwise leak information that
represents a threat to consumer privacy.
In 2006, Hitachi, Ltd. developed a passive device called the -Chip
measuring 0.150.15 mm (not including the antenna), and thinner than a
sheet of paper (7.5 micrometers).Silicon on insulator (SOI) technology
is used to achieve this level of integration. The Hitachi -Chip can
wirelessly transmit a 128-bit unique ID number which is hard-coded
into the chip as part of the manufacturing process. The unique ID in the
chip cannot be altered, providing a high level of authenticity to the chip
and ultimately to the items the chip may be permanently attached or
embedded into. The Hitachi -Chip has a typical maximum read range
of 30 cm (1 ft). In February 2007 Hitachi unveiled an even smaller
RFID device measuring 0.050.05 mm, and thin enough to be
embedded in a sheet of paper. The new chips can store as much data as
the older -chips, and the data contained on them can be extracted from
as far away as a few hundred meters. The ongoing problems with all
RFIDs are that they need an external antenna which is 80 times bigger
than the chip in the best version thus far developed. Further, the present
costs of manufacturing the inlays for tags have inhibited broader
~ 12 ~
~ 13 ~
ACTIVE
Unlike passive RFID tags, active RFID tags have their own internal
power source, which is used to power the integrated circuits and to
broadcast the response signal to the reader. Communications from active
tags to readers is typically much more reliable (i.e. fewer errors) than
those from passive tags due to the ability for active tags to conduct a
"session" with a reader.
Active tags, due to their onboard power supply, also may transmit at
higher power levels than passive tags, allowing them to be more robust
in "RF challenged" environments with humidity and spray or with RFdampening targets (including humans and cattle, which contain mostly
water), reflective targets from metal (shipping containers, vehicles), or
at longer distances. In turn, active tags can be larger (due to battery size)
and more expensive to manufacture (due to price of the battery).
However, the potential shelf life of an active tag can be many years.
Many active tags today have operational ranges of hundreds of meters,
and a battery life from several months to 10 years. Active tags may
include larger memories than passive tags, and may include the ability to
store additional information received from the reader.
~ 14 ~
Special active RFID tags may include specialized sensors. For example,
a temperature sensor can be used to record the temperature profile
during the transportation and storage of perishable goods. Other sensor
types used include humidity, shock/vibration, light, nuclear radiation,
pressure and concentrations of gases such as ethylene.
Increasingly, active tags on the market today are internationally
standardized according to the ISO 18000-7 air interface standard, which
operates at the 433 MHz frequency. In addition, active tags that are sold
in the form of an electronic seal are standardized according to the ISO
18185 standard.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has successfully used
active tags to reduce search and loss in logistics and to improve supply
chain visibility for more than 15 years (concept of in-transit-visibility,
ITV[5]). The DoD is increasingly relying on active tags to monitor the
environmental status of assets and material using onboard sensors.
Extended capability
Extended capability RFID defines a category of RFID that goes beyond
the basic capabilities of standard RFID as merely a "license plate" or
barcode replacement technology. Key attributes of extended capability
RFID include the ability to read at longer distances and around
challenging environments, to store large amounts of data on the tag, to
integrate with sensors, and to communicate with external devices.
Examples of extended capability RFID tag technologies include EPC
C1G2 with extended memory (e.g. 64Kb), battery-assisted passive, and
active RFID. Battery-assisted passive, also known as semi-passive or
semi-active, has the ability to extend the read range of standard passive

WORKING PRINCIPLE
RFID DETAILS
Radio frequency identification (commonly abbreviated to RFID) is sonamed because it relates to the identification of objects using EM
radiation at radio frequencies. In Table 2 we saw that a large range of
frequencies within the EM spectrum are referred to as radio
Frequencies (RF), which results in a number of different forms of RFID.
Once again, RFID systems may be categorized based on the band of the
EM spectrum that they operate in. RFID systems in the same band will

3. Active tag systems use batteries for their entire operation, and
can therefore generate radio waves proactively, even in the absence of
an RFID reader.

referred to simply as RFID systems.

maximum operating distance between the reader antenna and the tag,
and the field of the reader is the specific operating area. The frequency
of operation used for an RFID system has a big effect on the operating
range. Analysis of the physics of RFID communications shows that the
optimum frequency is around 400-500MHz [9]. Such analysis cannot
be made generically - there are a number of factors to take into account
and these will have different effects based on the intended application.
Example factors that will be affected
by the choice of frequency include: size of tag antenna, ease of power
delivery to the tag, ease of communication of tag back to reader, cost
and speed of communication.
The range of RFID systems operating in the UHF band is governed
largely by the principles outlined. This means that the ability of the
reader to power and communicate to the tag is based on the inverse
square law (1/r ), as will the return path of reflected signals from the tag

2.1 CONCEPTS OF MICROCONTROLLER:
Microcontroller is a general purpose device, which
integrates a number of the components of a microprocessor system on to
single chip. It has inbuilt CPU, memory and peripherals to make it as a
mini computer. A microcontroller combines on to the same microchip:

MEMORY ORGANISATION:
There are three memory blocks in each of the PIC16f877 MUCs.
The program memory and Data Memory have separate buses so that
concurrent access can occur.

CHAPTER 3
3.1. RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through
the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and
changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays
have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover)
switches.
~ 23 ~
Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires
directly to the pins providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic
case of the relay.
The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The
coil will be obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay
coils produce brief high voltage 'spikes' when they are switched off and
this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit. To prevent damage
you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil.
The animated picture shows a working relay with its coil and
switch contacts. You can see a lever on the left being attracted by
magnetism when the coil is switched on. This lever moves the switch
contacts. There is one set of contacts (SPDT) in the foreground and
another behind them, making the relay DPDT.
The relay's switch connections are usually labeled COM, NC and NO:
COM - Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the
switch.
NC - Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay
coil is off.
NO - Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay
coil is on.
Connect to COM and NO if you want the switched circuit to be on
when the relay coil is on.
Connect to COM and NC if you want the switched circuit to be on
when the relay coil is off.
i.
CHOOSING A RELAY
2. Coil voltage:
The relay's coil voltage rating and resistance must suit the
circuit powering the relay coil. Many relays have a coil rated for a
12V supply but 5V and 24V relays are also readily available.
Some relays operate perfectly well with a supply voltage which is
a little lower than their rated value.
3. Coil:
The circuit must be able to supply the current required by
the relay coil. You can use Ohm's law to calculate the current:
supply voltage
Relay coil current =
coil resistance
4. For example: A 12V supply relay with a coil resistance of 400
passes a current of 30mA. This is OK for a 555 timer IC
(maximum output current 200mA), but it is too much for most
ICs and they will require a transistor to amplify the current.
5. Switch ratings (voltage and current)
The relay's switch contacts must be suitable for the circuit
they are to control. You will need to check the voltage and current
ratings. Note that the voltage rating is usually higher for AC, for
example: "5A at 24V DC or 125V AC".
6. Switch contact arrangement (SPDT, DPDT etc)
Most relays are SPDT or DPDT which are often
described as "single pole changeover" (SPCO) or "double pole
changeover" (DPCO). For further information please see the page
on switches.
ii.
Transistors and ICs (chips) must be protected from the brief high
voltage 'spike' produced when the relay coil is switched off. The
diagram shows how a signal diode (eg 1N4148) is connected across the
relay coil to provide this protection. Note that the diode is connected
'backwards' so that it will normally not conduct. Conduction only occurs
when the relay coil is switched off, at this moment current tries to
continue flowing through the coil and it is harmlessly diverted through
the diode. Without the diode no current could flow and the coil would
produce a damaging high voltage 'spike' in its attempt to keep the
~ 25 ~
current flowing.
iii.
Advantages of relays:
Relays can switch AC and DC, transistors can only switch DC.
Relays can switch high voltages, transistors cannot.
Relays are a better choice for switching large currents (> 5A).
Relays can switch many contacts at once.
Disadvantages of relays:
1. Relays are bulkier than transistors for switching small currents.

somewhat lower dc voltage, which remains the same even if the input dc
voltage varies, or the output load connected to the dc voltage changes.
A block diagram containing the parts of a typical power supply
and the voltage at various points in the unit is shown in fig 19.1. The ac
voltage, typically 120 V rms, is connected to a transformer, which steps
that ac voltage down to the level for the desired dc output. A diode
rectifier then provides a full-wave rectified voltage that is initially
filtered by a simple capacitor filter to produce a dc voltage. This
resulting dc voltage usually has some ripple or ac voltage variation. A
regulator circuit can use this dc input to provide a dc voltage that not
only has much less ripple voltage but also remains the same dc value
even if the input dc voltage varies somewhat, or the load connected to
the output dc voltage changes. This voltage regulation is usually
obtained using one of a number of popular voltage regulator IC units.
