can NFC in android device detect LF RFID tags?

I want to know whether NFC can detect Low frequency RFID readers like say 30khz to 300khz.

Solution

  • Short answer is NO. The whole RFID technology is based on the concept that both the tags and the readers should operate at the same frequency. Like you have said, NFC works at 13.56 MHz and hence a NFC enabled device would be able to read/scan only 13.56 MHz compliant RFID Tags
