Functionality
Based on functionalities, tags may be classified as passive, active and semi-passive. Passive tags
are not supported with batteries, but they are powered by the energy supplied by reader field.
Passive tags are cost effective and used in supply chain for identifying and tracking objects.
Active tags are battery powered. See Figure 12. They can be used for long-range applications.
Semi-passive tags are supported with batteries, but they are activated by the reader field. These
tags are used for capturing additional details like temperature, humidity, etc.
