NFC introduction:
1. Theory Description:
Near field communication (NFC) is an emerging technology. Devices using NFC Technology
(such as mobile phones) can exchange data when they are close to each other. It is evolved
from the integration of contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) and interconnection
and interworking technologies. By integrating inductive card readers, inductive cards and point-
to-point communication functions on a single chip, Mobile terminals are used to realize mobile
payment, electronic ticketing, access control, mobile identity recognition, anti-counterfeiting and
other applications.
The full Chinese name of NFC is near field communication technology. NFC is developed on
the basis of non-contact radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and wireless
interconnection technology. It provides a very safe and fast communication method for various
electronic products that are becoming more and more popular in our daily life. "Near field" in
the Chinese name of NFC refers to radio waves adjacent to electromagnetic fields. Because
radio waves are actually electromagnetic waves, they follow Maxwell's equation. Electric and
magnetic fields will always alternate in energy conversion during the process of propagation
from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna, and enhance each other during
conversion. For example, the radio signals used by our mobile phones are propagated by using
this principle, which is called far-field communication. Within 10 wavelengths of electromagnetic
wave, the electric field and magnetic field are independent of each other. At this time, the
electric field has little significance, but the magnetic field can be used for short-distance
communication, which is called near-field communication.
The near-field communication service combines the near-field communication technology and
mobile communication technology, and realizes various functions such as electronic payment,
identity authentication, ticketing, data exchange, anti-counterfeiting, advertising and so on. It is
a new service in the field of mobile communication. The near-field communication service
enhances the function of mobile phones, makes users' consumption behavior gradually
become electronic, and establishes a new user consumption and business model.
The application of NFC technology has been widely concerned all over the world. Different roles
such as telecom operators and mobile phone manufacturers at home and abroad have carried
out application pilot projects one after another. Some international associations and
organizations have also actively carried out standardization work. According to the prediction
of relevant institutions in the industry, mobile applications based on near-field communication
technology will become the next killer application of mobile value-added services.
2. Comparison between NFC and RFID
First, the working modes are different. NFC integrates point-to-point communication function,
reader function and contactless card function into one chip, while RFID consists of reader and
tag. NFC technology can read or write, while RFID can only read and determine information.
Second, the transmission distance is different. The transmission distance of NFC is much
smaller than that of RFID. The transmission distance of NFC is only 10 cm, and the transmission
distance of RFID can reach several meters or even tens of meters. NFC is a close and private
