RFID active tags at 13.56 Mhz

Hi

Is it possible to use active tags at 13.56 mhz and compatible readers.
I am trying to evaluate whether there is a need for using rfid for one
of our applications. Following are the requirements-

1. Range - upto 3m
2. Small form factor of reader - micro
3. Card sized tag - passive/active.
4. Conformance to iso15963

Could someone tell me whether this would be possible? Most of what i
read and what is available limited the read range to < 1m.
I was wondering whether using active tags would increase the read range
to say 3m. Because i read somewhere that passive tags dont function
beyond 1m. Are there any existing apps. which use such devices.? any
architecture/design docs?
Would really appreciate the help

Is that 3 meters or 3 miles??
