The RF in RFID explains how UHF tags and readers communicate wirelessly. It gives an understanding of what limits the read range of a tag, how to increase it (and why that might result in breaking the law), and the practical things that need to be addressed when designing and implementing RFID technology. Avoiding heavy math but giving breadth of coverage with the right amount of detail, it is an ideal introduction to radio communications for engineers who need insight into how tags and readers work.

• Named a 2012 Notable Computer Book for Computer Systems Organization by Computing Reviews
• The only book to give an understanding of radio communications, the underlying technology for radio frequency identification (RFID)
• Praised for its readability and clarity, it balances breadth and depth of coverage
