Wireless Identification Systems is a generic term
for technologies using radio waves to automatically identify people
and/or objects. There are many different methods and techniques
for identifications including a serial number identifying a person
or object. This identification method is stored on a microchip
attached to an antenna. The microchip and the antenna together
are called an Wireless Identification Systems transponder or simply
Wireless Identification Systems tag. This enables the chip to
transmit the information to an interrogator (reader) which would
convert the radio wave into digital information, which in turn
is passed on to computers that can make use of the information.
