Electronic – Read RFID tag with NFC reader

nfcrfid

Can I read passive RFID tag (125/134 kHz) with a NFC tag reader, like the one on Samsung Galaxy S3 ? If not, why: maybe because of the different frequency of the NFC reader (13,56 MHz)? Any way to to excite passive RFID tag with NFC reader?

Best Answer

You cannot read a passive 125 KHz Tag with a NFC reader, because as you have already guessed, they operate on different frequencies.

There are passive RFID cards operating on 13.56 MHz, however, and these will read just fine on a NFC-enabled phone.
