Why are inductively coupled RFID systems put in certain frequency bands when there are no EM waves used?
LF - 125 kHz
HF - 13.56 MHz
Those frequencies refer to the magnetic field that is used to induce a voltage in the transponder. Can the magnetic fields actually interfere with EM waves in the ...

RFID: Why is inductive coupling used instead of EM waves for LF and HF systems?
Is it because of antenna sizes? At 900 MHz a 1/2 dipole has a size of around 15 cm. That would be far higher for 125 kHz, so instead we use coils to power the transponder and use load modulation for ...
