Die Technologie der kontaktlosen Identifikation (RFID – Radio Frequency Identification) ist derzeit am Sprung, einer der bedeutendsten Industriezweige zu werden. War es in den 1990ern die rasante Entwicklung im Bereich der mobilen Kommunikation, so sind es derzeit die enormen Entwicklungen im Bereich RFID, welche einerseits industrielle Prozesse revolutionieren und andererseits auch in unser tägliches Leben Einzug halten. Ziel der vorliegenden Ausführungen ist es, die historische Entwicklung dieser vergleichsweise jungen Technologie aufzuzeigen, die physikalischen Grundlagen bestehender Konzepte zu vermitteln, die Vielfalt von möglichen Anwendungen und Einsatzbereichen zu beschreiben sowie die technischen Herausforderungen zu verdeutlichen.
Radio Frequency Identification is on the way to take severe influence on our daily live. While the 1990th were formed by the enormous development on the mobile communications-sector, it is now the time of RFID. This technology improves processes in industry significantly and takes influence on our daily live. The aim of this work is to point out the historical development of this comparatively young technology. Further more the main physical principles of the underlying concepts will be given, and finally the enormous variety of applications and challenges will be pointed out.
