“One program would generate code that would then be written to a general-purpose (off-the-shelf) chip used in an RFID tag. This code could add data storage capacity to the chip, for example, or add functionality related to how the chip in an active tag communicates with an attached sensor, and how it transmits that data to an RFID interrogator, says Mickle. The other program being developed would be used to design a tag’s chip from the ground up, thereby building any special functionality, as well as the required data storage capacity, right into the chip. ”
