Abstract
The development of radiofrequency identification systems (RFID), also known as “intelligent radiofrequency tags” or “RFID labels”, is in full expansion. They can take multiple forms and be adapted to numerous different substrates. The acronym RFID stands for radiofrequency identification and encompasses all wireless communication identification systems that use radiofrequency fields.
