Hardware design of a reader device in RFID-based class-attendance system

This paper presents hardware design of an RFID reader device, as one of the components of the system for automated recording of student attendance, number of teachers' held classes, and use of classroom resources. The system is intended for automation of daily tasks at higher education institutions, but at the same time it is a component of a wider system for software support to quality assurance at higher education institutions. The RFID reader is designed and tested in laboratory conditions at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering East Sarajevo.
