A is a small electronic device consisting of a microchip and an antenna and performs the same task as bar codes. a global positioning system b. bluetooth low energy device с. quick response code d. radio frequency identification tag ANSWER: RATIONALE: d Correct. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is a small electronic device consisting of a microchip and an antenna. This device performs the same task as bar codes, universal product codes, and magnetic strips on credit and debit cards: It provides a unique identification for the card or the object carrying the tag.

Page Chapter 14-Emerging Trends, Technologies, and Applications Transponder a. Active b. Passive c. d. ANSWER: b RATIONALE: POINTS: Beacon Correct. Passive RFID tags have no internal power supply, so they can be very small. Typically, they absorb the signal from the receiver device, convert this signal into energy, and use this energy to respond to the receiver.
