Technical state of art of "Radio Frequency Identification -- RFID" and implications regarding standardization, regulations, human exposure, privacy

Starting from near and far electromagnetic field theory, the conference introduces the main principles used in Radio Frequency Identification - RFID i.e. inductive coupling or propagation using backscattering principle (batteryless / battery assisted) from LF 125 kHz up to SHF 5, 8 GHz.We will continue by introducing the main problems for reception of the small signals coming back from tag load modulations and demodulation mechanics and possible simulations. We will introduce also some new technological points such as Very High Baud Rate possibilities and relations between wafer processing / mounting and global tag cost.We will conclude describing important inter relations between technical ideas, technologies, standardizations, regulations, human exposure, privacy, etc..
