RFID Student ID Cards

Abstract: Title: Use of RFID technology in students ID cards The tags (or students ID card) contain electronically stored information. These tags are powered by and read at short ranges (few meters) via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction), and then act as a passive transponder to emit microwaves or UHF radio waves (i.e., electromagnetic radiation at high frequencies). Others use a local power source such as a battery, and may operate at hundreds of meters. Unlike a bar code, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader, and may be embedded in the tracked object. These tags can be used to gain access for transport, attendance, hostel, etc. The biggest advantage of RFID is that it is contactless and safe technology which is very much required in today’s times. There a growing concern to the management officials of any education institute to implement a secured efficient and accurate tracking mechanism for their student’s .These tags will allow them to have a single card that will hold all the information of a particular student and ease their work.
