ABSTRACT
Is it possible to develop gamut of applications by changing only software but without further modifying the hardware? This sounds very interesting and also possible by implementing state-of-the-art RFID technology. Some common applications including animal identification, automatic car parking, automatic banking system, attendance system, railway system, road toll tax, ATM machine and lots more.

1. INTRODUCTION
RFID Radio frequency identification, is a modern technology for the recognition as well as tracking of living or non-living objects. RFID uses radio waves for the exchange of data between RFID card and tag. While exchanging data (digital information) between RFID card and tag, we didnt bother about the LOS (Line-of-sight) which is the common problem with barcodes. RFID could be considered as the better substituent of barcodes. Advantages of RFID over barcodes A. Line-of-sight is the common problem when we deal with barcodes but RFID neednt any LOS for any communication. B. RFID tags could be easily Rewritten as compared to the barcodes. C. RFID has improved read rates as compared to barcodes. This technical paper helps in understanding the various aspects of RFID technology. A basic RFID system consists of mainly two devices RFID card (reader) and tag. The technology requires some extent of cooperation of RFID card and tag. Moreover RFID tag could also be incorporated into any person, animal or anywhere for the purpose of tracking the activities. This could be easily understood with the help of an advertisement which was sponsored and promoted by renowned telecommunication company named as Aircel. The Ad claims that the total number of tigers in the entire region of North India is only 998 (as per television advertisement). Well, is it easily to figure out the total number of exiting tigers in the entire Northern region? 188

This could be only possible by adopting the RFID technology which uses radio waves.

2. MORE INFORMATION
In addition to this, RFID not only changes but also improves the business environment of todays market entire the globe. Todays RFID technology is widely used for tracking as well as identifying of different goods throughout the globe. When it comes the most trustworthy technology for identification as well as tracking the goods throughout the globe then RFID technology is at top-notch position. Nowadays RFID modules are easily available across the globe with pocket-friendly prices. As we already discussed that a basic RFID system consists of mainly two devices RFID card (reader) and tag.

3. PARTS OF RFID
RFID card (reader) is a kind of transceiver which communicates with the tag. Additionally reader is responsible for the generation of RF fields. When the tag comes in contact with these RF fields then it transmit its stored information. The information could be a single binary bit or a large array of bits. 2. Tag consisting of microchip, contains identifying information. Tag transmits its stored information when it comes in contact with RF fields. For better understanding we could say that tag could be active or passive. Active tag having battery backup, transmits its stored information when it comes near to reader. But passive tags having no battery backup, International Journal of New Innovations
