A basic UHF RFID tag is comprised of an antenna and the IC.
Antenna – A tag’s antenna is unique to that specific type of tag and its job is to receive RF waves, energize the IC, and then backscatter the modulated energy to the RFID antenna.
Integrated Circuit (IC)/Chip – the integrated circuit, also called the chip, contains four memory banks, processing information, send and receive information, and anti-collision protocols. Each IC type is unique, and there are only a handful of manufacturers. The main variation between ICs is the number of bits in the respective memory banks.
The four memory banks are as follows:
- EPC Memory Bank – contains the Electronic Product Code which can vary in length from 96 to 496 bits. Some manufacturers use a randomized, unique number, while others use random repeating numbers.
- User Memory Bank – the User memory bank can range from 32 bits to over 64k bits and is not included on every IC. If the tag does possess a User memory bank, it can be used for user defined data about the item. This could be information like item type, last service date, or serial number.
- Reserved Memory Bank – the Reserved memory bank contains the access and lock passwords which enable the tag memory to be locked by the user and require a password to view or edit.
- TID Memory Bank – the TID memory bank contains the Tag Identifier which is a randomized, unique number that is set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. In order for the reader to read this number instead of the EPC, the reader settings must be changed to accommodate.
Because there is a chance that a tag’s EPC number is not unique, it is imperative to check before purchasing. Specifications may denote either “unique, randomized EPC number” or “Not guaranteed to be unique” (or some similar phrase). If you purchase a tag without a unique randomized EPC number, it may need to be reencoded with a new, specific number. RFID readers are not able to differentiate between two tags that share the same EPC value.
The EPC number of each tag is read to identify the tag as well as the item that is tagged. If no software is used, the tag will simply read the EPC number; but, by incorporating software, it is possible to associate that number with a name, serial number, or even a picture on a database.
