3.1. RF MODULE
RF module has a short range antenna attached on the
transmitter end. It needs battery or a power source in order
to be operated, and for long duration it can be used. It is
often desired to communicate with other device wirelessly.
The range of the antenna attached on the transmitter is short.
It can just release signal from the RF transmitter. Whenever
RF receiver come across the transmitter devices, signal is
sent to receiver which is placed in the vehicle.
