RFID Handbook: Fundamentals and Applications in Contactless Smart Cards, Radio Frequency Identification and Near-Field Communication

No problem in this book. No hint of how to make variety of products from RFID transceiver which are sold in their website. (No price available)

The book is excellent. Managed to meet all my needs on the subject. The teaching is good because of the explanation of the theories and their applications. In my opinion, is the best book at the moment on the subject.

The information is too broad. I was excited thinking it was going to cover antenna design for 13.56MHz Contactless devices, but it just covered all the areas in general. It is good information, but I thought it was going to be more focused on aspects I am interested. Perhaps if I had time, I would start a book on this subject with specific chip in mind, and design steps to meet all EMVCo specs.

Sulaiman loved it. He had no complaints.

I am deeply grateful to so many people for what I have learned about RFID, Big Data, and analytics. They include Michael Roberti and his associates at RFID Journal as well as - listed in alpha order -- Bart Baesens, Tom Davenport, Bill Glover, Bernie Marr, Geoff Moore, Foster Provost and Tom Fawcett, and most recently, Klaus Finkenzeller. They are convinced - and have convinced me - that those who compete in the global marketplace have only begun to recognize and appreciate the unique and abundant opportunities that RFID technologies make possible.In the Third Edition of RFID Handbook, translated by Dörte Müller and published in 2010, Finkenzeller offers a wealth of valuable information, insights, and counsel with regard to fundamentals and applications in contactless smart cards, radio frequency identification, and near-field communication. As he explains, his book aims to fill a significant gap in the range of literature on the subject of RFID. The need for well-founded technical literature in this field is proven by the fact that this book has now appeared already in five languages."He duly acknowledges that technical developments in the field of RFID technology "are proceeding at such a pace that although a book like this can explain the general scientific principles it is not dynamic enough to be able to exp-lore the latest trends regarding the most recent products on the market and the latest standards and regulations." However, "A new addition to this Third Edition is Near-field Communication (NFC) which has been introduced to several different chapters...Another addition is a complete writing diagram and proposed circuit for an RFID reader according to ISO/IEC 14443. A layout and complete component kit of this writing diagram and circuit is also available on the Internet."These are among the several dozen passages of greatest interest and value to me, also listed to suggest the scope of Finkenzeller's coverage:o RFID differentiation features (Pages 11-28)o Operating principles (29-59)o Near-field communication (NFC) 57-59 and 339-346o Magnetic Field (61-110)o Transformed transponder impedance (85-94)o Load modulation (94-100)o Electronic waves (110-144)o Antennas (116-127)o Passive microwave transponder (129-137)o Freeway ranges (156-164)o Digital Modulation Procedures (180-188)o Anticollision algorithms and procedures (194-211)o Attacks on RFID systems (214-226)o Attacks on RF interface (216-226)o Protection for cryptographic measures (226-232)o Standardization (233-282)o Animal identification cards (233-240)o Standardization of contactless cards (240-267)o Proximity-coupling smart cards -- ISO/IEC (243-258)o EPCglobal network (274-282)o Transponders with memory function (283-300)o Memory architecture: transponder (289-300)o Memory technology (307-311)o Public transport (362-372)Here in a single volume is probably most of what most business leaders need to know about what RFID is and can do. The 14 examples discussed in the final chapter (Pages 361-418) -- ranging from contactless smart cards to medical applications -- only begin to suggest the potentialities and implications of a technology first introduced by Mario Cardullo's device, patented on January 23, 1973. It was a passive radio transponder with memory. The basic Cardullo patent covers the use of RF, sound, and light as transmission media. Of course, a great deal has happened in the global marketplace since this Third Edition was published in 2010. I highly recommend a subscription to RFID Journal and active participation in various events that it sponsors. Based on what I have learned from those who should know, we are only at the dawn of understanding the nature and extent of what RFID's potentialities. That said, I commend Klaus Finkenzeller on his provision of so much material with precision and clarity. Bravo!

GOOD REFERENCE BOOK.

I am an electrical engineer and am new to RFID design. I was hoping this book would be a go-to source for all my questions on theory and application, but I've found it severely lacking, especially on the physical fundamentals. While it's useful for familiarizing yourself with topics pertaining to RFID systems and design, it is by no means a thorough or even successful assessment of the subject. Almost all of the provided formulas are given with little to no derivation or proof, and in an unacceptable number of circumstances, formulas are wrong or don't even make sense (missing fraction bars, conflicting units, etc.). Diagrams and figures are often not well annotated or explained.It's worth thumbing through if you're new to the subject, but if you're looking for a good introduction, I suggest you pass this one up.

Just received these tags and they are not NTAG203 as listed in the description, they are in fact Mifare Classic 1k tags. Not compatible with some devices. Not very happy right now...

Came new in a perfect condition. I used this for my University Dissertation on passive Inductive RFID Sensor Technology, 13.56MHz High-frequency machinery

英文を読むのは大変だが、RFIDの技術が体系的に整理されている書籍は、これだけ。日本語は2版が出版されているが、両者に大きな違いはなく、900Mhzの記述が追加されている。
