RFID Handbook

"RFID Handbook" by Klaus Finkenzeller is an essential resource for people who want to learn more about the Radio Frequency Identification technology. It covers not only the fundamental principles, but also the practical applications of RFID, making it an indispensable resource, especially for beginners to radio technologies.

Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of RFID. The first chapters explain how radio waves and electromagnetic fields work. Then, the author discusses transmission methods and data encoding mechanisms.

As the book progresses, it tackles advanced RFID elements, including modulation techniques, transponders, and more. This section may be a bit dry for people who don’t have a tech background, I suppose.

Finkenzeller didn’t miss the opportunity to discuss security and privacy in his book. In fact, a significant section addresses vulnerabilities, authentication protocols, cryptography, and so on. Therefore, if you plan to implement secure RFID systems, you will find exactly what you need here.

The author has provided several real-world case studies and applications, successfully proving the benefits of Radio Frequency Identification. It’s a recommended book for specialists working in the tech sector, as well as for people who want to learn more about the potential of RFID.
