“…Radiofrequency identification (RFID) is a wireless technology for identification and tracking of objects, animals, persons, etc. which has moderately penetrated the market, as compared to optical identification systems (based on barcodes or QR-codes) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Despite the fact that RFID offers significant advantages over optical systems, such as larger reading distances without the need of line-of-sight, high data storage capacity, and the possibility to read multiple tags simultaneously, the cost of traditional RFID tags (i.e., tags equipped with a silicon integrated circuit or chip), is excessively high for many applications involving low-cost items.…”
