13.56 MHz RFID Module – From Application to Process Modelling and Effects on Human Health
摘要
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology very used in the last few years due to its reliability and ease of use. The applications are present in a large range of frequencies, but this paper is focused on a13.56 MHz module which is usually combined with an Arduino board. First, a simple application for student monitoring capable of storing information about each student and the time he/she checked in and out of class is presented. The advantages of such a system are highlighted and the components used to construct this system are described. The next step of this paper is to determine how the RFID module functions by numerically modelling it with and without the tags and cards near it, attempting also to show how the positioning of the tags influences the characteristics of the active tag’s antenna. The last step of the study is centered on determining the influence of such a tag near human tissues and concludes by determining if it is safe or not to use an RFID for long periods of time.
