Low frequency

In the RFID environment, low frequency refers to a frequency range used for contactless communication between a tag and a reading system. It operates over short distances and with a low data rate. This range is considered comparatively robust in the presence of water, dirt and demanding environmental conditions. Compared with high frequency and ultra-high frequency, the read range is usually shorter, but the detection of individual objects can often be designed very precisely. The choice of the appropriate frequency range  influences read range, stability and the application area of an RFID system. Low frequency is used when workpieces, containers or operating equipment need to be identified reliably at close range.
