Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a fascinating, fast developing andmultidisciplinary domain with emerging technologies and applications. It is characterizedby a variety of research topics, analytical methods, models, protocols, design principles andprocessing software. With a relatively large range of applications, RFID enjoys extensiveinvestor confidence and is poised for growth. A number of RFID applications proposed or already used in technical and scientificfields are described in this book. Sustainable Radio Frequency Identification Solutions comprises19 chapters written by RFID experts from all over the world. In investigating RFID solutionsexperts reveal some of the real-life issues and challenges in implementing RFID.

This book, entitled Radio Frequency Identification Fundamentals and Applications, Bringing Research to Practice, bridges the gap between theory and practice and brings together a variety of research results and practical solutions in the field of RFID. The book is a rich collection of articles written by people from all over the world: teachers, researchers, engineers, and technical people with strong background in the RFID area. Developed as a source of information on RFID technology, the book addresses a wide audience including designers for RFID systems, researchers, students and anyone who would like to learn about this field.At this point I would like to express my thanks to all scientists who were kind enough to contribute to the success of this project by presenting numerous technical studies and research results. However, we couldn't have published this book without the effort of InTech team. I wish to extend my most sincere gratitude to InTech publishing house for continuing to publish new, interesting and valuable books for all of us.

The book generously covers a wide range of aspects and issues related to RFID systems, namely the design of RFID antennas, RFID readers and the variety of tags (e.g. UHF tags for sensing applications, surface acoustic wave RFID tags, smart RFID tags), complex RFID systems, security and privacy issues in RFID applications, as well as the selection of encryption algorithms. The book offers new insights, solutions and ideas for the design of efficient RFID architectures and applications. While not pretending to be comprehensive, its wide coverage may be appropriate not only for RFID novices but also for experienced technical professionals and RFID aficionados.
