What’s the difference between passive and active tags?
WEBActive RFID tags have a transmitter and their own power source (typically a battery). The power source is used to run the microchip’s circuitry and to broadcast a signal to a reader (the way a cell phone transmits signals to a base station). Passive tags have no battery. Instead, they draw power from the reader, […]

How Does RFID Work? - RFID JOURNAL
WEBJan 13, 2011 · Typically, most systems work by having a unique identifier stored on a microchip. A reader sends out a signal, and a tag responds. Passive tags use energy from the reader to reflect back a signal. Active tags respond by broadcasting, like a cell phone. Different systems utilize different means of communicating data from the tag.
