Near Field Communication (NFC) and RFIDis a bi-directional radio technology for shortrange communication between devices.
It helps to make life easier and more convenientfor consumers around the world by making itsimpler to identify, make transactions, exchangedigital content, connect electronic devices with atouch, and control of processes.
A short tour on the technology basics willhelp to better understand the NFCtechnology and the current applications.
It will help developers coming from differentapplications areas to trigger new use cases intheir technology using RFID and NFC.

RFID is a :
Why RFID?• Passive (non-battery operated) RF solution• Operating frequency at 134Khz (LF), 13.56Mhz (HF) , 868MHz/915Mhz (UHF)• HF and LF systems use the Magnetic field to transfer power by induction• UHF systems (>100MHz) use the Electric field to transfer power• Tags are mainly in label (flat) and moderately inexpensive• Applications include POS (point of sale), access control, authentication, medical etc.
• RFID Tags can also operate with battery (active) for data logging operations• Dual Interface Tags can connect to external sensors, actors, uC, etc.

ANTENNA
– LF/HF Readers use the magnetic component (H-field) of the electromagnetic wave to transfer energy from the Reader’s antenna to the tag’s antenna.
– This can be compared to the way a transformer works but using air in place of a ferrite core
– The Reader’s antenna induces a voltage in the Tag’s antenna

NFC Operating ModesCard Emulation Mode
• In Card Emulation mode a NFC device is able to behave like a tag / contactless smartcard. • Only the initiator generates the RF field for the communication• The NFC Device in Card Emulation Mode responds to an Initiator command by applying a load modulation on
the RF field.• The device in Card Emulation may draw the power from the RF signal.• NFC devices may have the ability to emulate the protocol of more than one card / protocol
PCD / VCD (Reader/Writer)
o The NFC device behaves like: ISO14443A/B and ISO15693, Felica
o The device has the ability to read, write and communicate with the a passive RFID tag.

RFID Technology Matrix
Resonance Circuit Transponder– If a capacitor (C) and inductor (L) are used in combination, they form the
electrical equivalent to a mechanical pendulum. The pendulum moves backwards and forwards at a set frequency using little energy. For any LC circuit, the inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC) will be equal at some frequency. This frequency is called the resonant frequency and if the values of L and C are known, can be calculated:
