The mature process of the technical conditions for the large-scale application of RFID technology

The commercial application of RFID technology began in the late 1960s, and electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems based on "1-bit responders" were widely used in shopping malls and supermarkets, mainly for anti-theft purposes, and are still in use today. In the 1970s, with the continuous development and maturity of RFID technology theory, RFID products also emerged, such as RCA's "Motorcycle Electronic License" and Fairchild's passive microwave coding responder. However, the product implementation at this stage mainly relies on discrete components, and the cost and performance still cannot meet the needs. In the 1980s, with the development of integrated circuits, RFID tag circuits could be integrated into a single chip, making passive RFID tags on a single chip possible. At this stage, many applications began to be attempted, among which the transportation application was the most successful. In the 1990s, RFID technology developed rapidly and was widely used in various countries around the world. Major chip manufacturers are also actively developing various passive RFID chips and promoting their applications. RFID technology has been applied in many fields such as electronic toll collection systems, non-stop toll collection, and car anti-theft. Entering the 21st century, RFID technology is gradually developing and maturing. The performance of tag chips has been further improved, and the price has gradually been accepted by users. The technical conditions for large-scale application of RFID technology are basically mature.
