Current technology uses radio waves to excite a coil which produces electricity and transmits a signal read by the reader (thats how they work in my industry). The ranges are limited and the signal in most cases cannot penetrate a wall. Have you ever bought a book and noticed that little square of paper in it? That is one type of RFID. Hold it up to the light and you can see the coil.
