RFID too broadly named?
Hi so I was thinking RFID and NFC are kinda the same thing only one is near field and one is not. A quick Google search states NFC is a subset of RFID.
That being said is there a proper name for the class of RFID that is generally mentioned?

RFID is still useful as a blanket term in the same regard, and like an ICE, will share many many fundamental theories of operation, but there can also be large differences.
But if I didn't ask with a specific piece of information they couldn't help.
If I wanted to ask about an RFID chip that works only close up I wouldn't necessarily be wrong in the word use since they both are radio frequency.
It is that lack of information that creates confusions. NFC does fall under RFID. But the same way you are describing those engines, What about the humble little 4-MIX engine? If you run gasoline without oil mixed in through it, you will destroy the engine. It has valves and timing. It's a four stroke principle engine that still needs two stroke full synthetic mix to run right. Or rather, run properly at all.
AWESOME engine. But just one little problem. x-x
Which is why there should be names for the different types of RFID systems/tags/protocols used, other than just RFID. Am I correct?
If you want to refer to subcategories of RFID, you should be using the frequency.
The ones implanted are usually low or medium frequency, since UHF is fairly readily absorbed by skin.
@electricfeel so other then using the frequency to name the RFID there is no other true name of what we refer to as RFID if I'm understanding correctly.
