Question 2: What are the differences between passive transponders and active transponders.

ANSWER: The differences between an active and passive transponder are as follows:

1. Source of radio frequency: Transponders operate via radio frequency. In an active transponder, the radio frequency is derived from an external source powered by a battery. In passive transponder, the source of radio frequency is the scanning antenna.

2. Performance: The distance, rates, and capacity of the memory for an active transponder are better than a passive transponder.

3. Make: Active transponders come as an integral part of the body of the product. The passive transponder is attached as an add-on with the primary product.

4. Cost: A typical active transponder can be as expensive than three passive transponders.
