A. RFID Reader
RFID Reader is a scanning device that uses the antenna to
realise the tags that are in its vicinity [9]. It transmits signals at
certain frequencies. RFID readers are usually ON,
continuously transmitting radio energy and awaiting any tags
that enter their field of operation. EM 18 RFID Reader is
shown in fig. 2. EM 18 RFID reader is the device capable of
reading and retrieving information stored inside the RFID
tags. There are two types of RFID readers, the active and the
passive RFID readers.

B. RFID Tags
RFID Tag is an IC chip that has unique hexadecimal or
electronic product code (EPC) contained in it. Here
UNIQUE refers to each and every code word of the tag and
is independent of other code word. The tag acts as a
Key that is capable of opening a particular locks [10]. So, it is
also named as RFID key. The sequence is a numeric serial,

SYSTEM DESIGN

A. Hardware design
This system consists of automatic attendance system for
both students and professor. While entering the class room
both the student and professor have to mark their attendance
using their RFID cards. This attendance will be forwarded to a
central computer after processing it through the
microcontroller where it will be stored. If a student is absent in
the class then notification will be sent to his/her parents.
The architecture of the system is shown in fig. 5. This
system consists of a tag affixed on identity card to
communicate wirelessly with a reader, in order to retrieve the
tags identity. RFID is used to take the attendance of the
student. Student information is stored in the RFID tag and this
information is read by the RFID reader. The ATMEGA 128
microcontroller takes input from the RFID reader, processes it
and sends it to both PC and the GSM module through
MAX232 for storing the attendance and for sending SMS
through the GSM module. Here, we can also use the PIC
microcontroller easily but we are using ATMEGA 128
microcontroller because the Atmel AVR.
