RFID tags play an important role when it comes to any RFID project. To help you out, we�ve outlined some frequently asked questions (FAQs) when it comes to RFID tags and choosing the right one for your project.= What is the difference between active and passive RFID tags? Active RFID tags have a battery and transmit out their own signal on a predefined (often times configurable interval) This signal may be received by an active RFID reader. Depending on the tag, this battery may be built into the tag or may be field replaceable. Passive RFID tags do not have a battery. Instead, they get activated when they get into the field of view of a passive RFID reader. In most cases, passive RFID tags are more cost effective than active RFID tags. However, since active RFID tags do a have a battery, this can assist with providing greater accuracy for certain use cases. There is actually a third category of RFID tags which is known as semi-passive or battery assisted passive (BAP) RFID tags.
