Elektor RFID Reader

For MIFARE® and ISO 14443-A cards

Published in issue 357, September 2006

Elektor RFID Reader
RFID cards are becoming increasingly popular in many fields where previously barcodes and chip cards were used. They open up many new possibilities, such as applications in travel cards or even banknotes. As befits a premier electronics magazine, Elektor Electronics is offering its readers with this issue not only a free RFID card but also a professional RFID reader for your own applications. The design described here can both read from and write to all types of RFID card that are compatible with the MIFARE and ISO 14443-A international standards.
