Near-Field Far-Fielde.g. Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), UHF RFID (ISO18000-7), UWBe.g. RuBee (IEEE P1902.1), NFC (ISO 18092)
e.g. UHF RFID (ISO18000-6 & EPC)e.g. HF RFID (ISO 14443), LF RFID (ISO 14223-1)
Benefits• Robust link around
dense RF media• Magnetic field zone
control• Simple narrow-band
protocols maximize battery life
Deficiencies• Range limited to
antenna loop diameter• Multi-tag arbitration
speed limited by data rate
Benefits• Long range due to RF
propagation and higher transmit power
• High multi-tag arbitration rates possible due to larger bandwidth & data-rate
Deficiencies• Some bands require
spread spectrum and complex multiple access protocols; leads to higher power consumption
• Poor zone control
Benefits• Excellent zone
control• Robust near-field
energy harvesting for passive HF/LF RFID
• Robust media penetration
Deficiencies• Backscatter reader
sensitivity and loop antenna diameter limits practical range to within one meter
• Multi-tag arbitration limited by bandwidth and data rate
Benefits• Tens of meters of
range for passive tags• Longer range for
semi-passive tags; limited primarily by reader sensitivity
• High multi-tag arbitration rate
• Longer battery life
Deficiencies• Poor zone control• Poor RF media
penetration• Highly orientation
sensitivity due to weaker backscatter and multi-path propagation
