Active systems have a much longer range than passive systems due to having an internal battery. Because of this an active tag will be much larger and more expensive than a passive tag. The passive tag will basically convert the RF signal from the Interrogator or reader and turn it into energy to return the signal.

Active tags will often be found on larger sized shipping containers/products whereas a passive tag, due to its small form factor can be used on any variety of products, containers, boxes...etc.

Passive tags are usually more durable than active tags. While some active tag batteries have a lifetime of 10 years, depending on the frequency of use, passive tags do not have the handicap of internal power requirements. Depending on the harshness of the environment, an industrial grade passive Read-Only tag can last longer than your average person.

What is the difference between active and passive remote sensing systems in geography?

Active remote sensing transmits energy to allow an image to be formed. Passive remote sensing collects energy reflected or emitted from a surface. Active systems direct a bean of energy at a surface and analyze the energy reflected back. An example of active sensing would be a radar. Passive systems are pretty much what the eyes see, and it's like a photograph. Passive sensing radiates visible light.


What is usually found at an active margin but NOT at a passive margin?

Active and passive margins describe the various characteristics of continental margins that are a result of plate tectonics. An active margin usually has numerous volcanoes and mountains, while a passive margin typically do not have these formations.


How is active remote sensing different from passive remote sensing?

Passive remote sensing picks up wave lengths of the light spectrum occurring on their own such light in photography. Active remote sensing will send out a wavelength of the spectrum and measure how it bounces back like radar.


What does the passive continental margin have that the active margin does not?

Subduction. A subduction trench.


What is something similar between active and passive margins continents?

Both active and passive margins are found at the edges of continents. Active margins are associated with tectonic activity and are typically marked by earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building, while passive margins are geologically stable and characterized by broad continental shelves and sediment deposition.

What do active solar heat systems have that passive systems do not have?

Moving parts and special equipment. Passive systems rely on the sun to warm a building through windows and walls. Active systems use solar panels, or solar water panels and use the energy or heated water to provide heating.

What's the difference between active and passive anti-theft systems?

Passive anti-theft systems arm automatically after your vehicle is shut off and all passengers exit the vehicle. Active anti-theft systems require you to arm the system with a remote control attached to your keychain.

What are the two types of solar heating systems?

The two types of solar heating systems are active solar heating systems, which use pumps and fans to circulate air or fluid, and passive solar heating systems, which rely on building design and materials to capture and store heat from the sun.
