[dorkbotdc-blabber] RFID basics

[Brian Chamberlain]

Hi Dorkbotters,

I was wondering if anyone had some good resources (books, links,  
articles, etc..) about RFID? I'm trying to learn about it because I  
want to use it in a few projects. Through some searching I've found  
this really excellent article (a thesis paper by an MIT student)  http://autoid.mit.edu/whitepapers/TAS-MSTHESIS-FINAL.PDF 
  which covers the basics (even including the eletromagnetic theory  
stuff) and some RFID history.  Speaking of history... Did you know  
that RFID (in a basic form) has been around since WW2?! They used it  
in friend-or-foe type systems to identify planes! Crazy.

Anyway, this seems like the forum to ping the collective noodle for  
information on this topic. Any info you have would be helpful... one  
specific area I have questions about is in hi-speed multi-channel RFID  
systems... if that helps narrow criteria for the RFID gurus out there.

Thanks!
Brian
