    ANT600 5 Function 5.1 ID tags ID tags are passively operated without a battery. The energy required for operation is provided by the read/write head. The energy is provided via an inductive coupling. The integrated antenna coil in the read/write head generates a magnetic field which partly penetrates the antenna coil of the ID tag. A voltage is generated by induction that supplies the data carrier with energy.
