RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification Device.
Types of RFID Transponder (Tag, PIT Tag, Microchip)
There are three main types of RFID transponders:
- Passive (no battery),
- Active (large tags contain a battery) and
- Semi-active (small battery).
Within the three types there are three main frequencies:
- Low Frequency (LF),
- High Frequency (HF) and
- Ultra-High Frequency (UHF).
Trovan RFID is a Low Frequency system utilising both ferrite antenna type tags and air coil antenna type tags.
Trovan tags can be either fully encapsulated or supplied as a PET or PVC inlay.
Trovan RFID tags are manufactured in Germany using six-sigma tool kits.
The production line is fully automated and capable of producing many millions of tags per year.
