The EM-18 RFID Reader module operating at 125kHz is an inexpensive solution for your RFID based application. The Reader module comes with an on-chip antenna and can be powered up with a 5V power supply. Power-up the module and connect the transmit pin of the module to recieve pin of your microcontroller. Show your card
within the reading distance and the card number is thrown at the output. Optionally the module can be configured for also a weigand output. RFID means radio-frequency identification. RFID uses electromagnetic fields to transfer data over short distances. RFID is useful to identify people, to make transactions.
You can use an RFID system to open a door. For example, only the person with the right information on his card is allowed to enter. An RFID system uses: tags attached to the object to be identified, in this example we have a key chain and an electromagnetic card. Each tag has his own unique identification (UID). two-way radio transmitter-receiver, the reader, that send a signal to the tag and read its response.
