Abstract Most educational institutions administrators are concerned about students irregular attendance. Truancies can affect students overall academic performance.[1]The conventional method of taking attendance by calling names or signing on paper is very time consuming and insecure, hence inefficient.[2]Therefore, Radio frequency Identification (RFID)based attendance system with GSM Module is required to assist the faculty and lecturer for this much convenient method to keep track of their students attendance.[3]RFID is a technology that allows for a tag affixed on identity card to communicate wirelessly with a reader in order for tags identifier to be retrieved.[4]Its ability o uniquely identify each person based on their RFID tag type of ID card makes process of making attendance easier, faster and secure as compared o conventional method.[5]The proposed system is an embedded system where UTLP kit is being used. The UTLP kit is based on Texas instrument OMAP3530 application processor and Spartan-6FPGA.[6]it also has special feature of Level Alert i.e. if the attendance of any student is less than a predetermined level then it gives message alert to class teacher on weekly basis.

INTRODUCTION

(RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION DEVICE(RFID):-)

Radio frequency communication uses electromagnetic wav es as transmission medium. Their Propagation properties al low connections of extremely high

distances. Electromagnetic waves

passesthrough nonshielding materials to some extent (e.g. c oncrete walls).This attractiveness demands some limitation enforced by worldide regulations defined by standardizatio n groups (e.g. ETSI, FCC).For all regions of the world ther e exist binding regulations covering following aspects:

1. Frequency bands (spectrum)

2. Maximal power of emitted radio waves

3. Bandwidth of emitted signal Ease of Use

5. RESUL AND ANALYSIS:-

   In this way we learned about the growing technology of UTLP & RFID also implemented successfully. This project is easy to implement and it has become one of the modern and user friendly system in near future. Thus we found that the RFID have limited range of operation .To increase the no of student in the data base some modification must be necessary. System operation time is maximum 180 sec. Output can be displayed on both the terminals; LCD of UTLP kit & ULK terminal. Implementation of system is bulky. The data of very student stored in the database can be displayed on the LCD of ULK Kit when card is swapped through RFID module.

   To display the output on LCD, we have to use normal mode.

   The size of EPROM of the ARM processor is 32kbytes. The execution time in UTLP is limited up to 180sec.

6. APPLICATION:-

   • OMAP 3530 is mainly used in android based some mobiles like Samsung, Nexus.

   • These are very high performance microprocessors used in typical electronics accessories.

   • With the help of the UTLP kit we can easily implement library management through RFID.

   • The basic application of this project is to generate and display students data base.

   • We can design a security system using this kit.

   • We can use it to design calculator.

   • Government office record

   • We can use it inHospitals

7. ADVANTAGES:-

   Use of RFID technology in a library can decrease the time needed for circulation duties since more than one tag can read at a time. Level check done automatically No line-of- sight contact necessary . RFID work contactless and require no line of sight. Robust system . Transponders can be read through a whole number of substances, e.g. snow, fog, ice, paint, dirt, and in difficult constructional scenarios where barcodes or other optical reading technologies would be no use at all. System is time efficient. System requires less manual work System has high accuracy. Speed of an RFID system. RFID transponders can be read at remarkable speed even in difficult conditions, and in most cases respond in less than 100 milliseconds. The

   reading/writing capability of an active RFID system is also a significant advantage in interactive applications, e.g. when tracking products in process or maintenance jobs. in tough environments. In difficult external conditions RFID has the advantage of being able to communicate contactless and without direct line-of-sight contact with the data medium. Where the transponder is doesn't matter either — it can be read through substances like dust, paint or ice.
