The development of compact radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is the key requirement for wireless tracking of precious small size goods/packages in transport. A design of compact meander line tag antenna having inductive coupling feed is presented for RFID system operating at ultra high frequency band of865–867 MHz. The size of the proposed tag antenna is43 mm × 10 mm, and is designed using Higgs 4 IC chip (made Alien Technology, USA) having impedance of20.55− j191.45 Ωat centre frequency866 MHz.The antenna characteristics such as impedance, radiation pattern, bandwidth, and effect of ground on gain and tag size are analyzed and found to closely match with the simulated values. The observed value of reading range varies from87.5 to 35 cmsdepending on mounting on non-metal and metal packages, respectively.

In this article, a meander line dipole antenna for radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is presented. The loaded meander antenna has a simple meander line structure with a spiral inductor at the end for size miniaturization, a T-match structure, and an inductively coupled parasitic element for impedance matching with the tag IC. The antenna is designed to operate in North American UHF RFID frequency band of 915 MHz. The size of the proposed tag antenna is 50 mm × 12 mm and has good impedance matching with Alien Higgs IC chip of 13.5 − j111Ω at the desired frequency band. The proposed tag antenna provides omnidirectional radiation pattern with a maximum read range of 3.5 m at an effective isotropic radiated power of 4 W. Simulation results are in good agreement with measurement results.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tag Antenna Design at Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Band
Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2017
This project is to design a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) high sensitivity tag antenna which operates at UHF frequency band in Malaysia between 919 MHz to 923 MHz. RFID is a type of wireless and radio wave technology that allows for a small RFID chip to be embedded in certain physical object and uniquely identified by an RFID reader. The major contempilation is that the tag antennas will have longer read ranges but in small sizes. While reducing the size of these antennas cause gain decrease will cause reduction in the read range. Another challenge in designing passive RFID tags antennas is to have the highest impedance matching to achieve high efficiency and low effects of the electromagnetic environment. This project was providing two methods to overcome those problems. Firstly, construct meander line structure to reduce the antenna size and design proposed tag antenna with T-match circuit to achieve conjugate matching with the application-specific integrated circuit so that the reading range of the RFID tag is greatly enhanced. On the other hand, the result show the tag directivity and gain was meets the RFID tag design requirements. This project is useful to be implemented in the RFID industry based on today's technology.
RFID tag antenna with a meandered dipole and inductively coupled feed
This paper presents tag antennas with an inductively coupled feed structure for the RFID application in the UHF band. The designed antennas consist of the rectangular loop for feeding and meandered dipole. We estimate the maximum bandwidth of the designed antenna using the approximate calculation and the calculated results are verified by measuring the read range of the tag antennas as a function of frequency. The read range of the designed RFID tag is approximately from 2.5m to 4m in air.

The design and simulations have been effected by electromagnetic simulators HFSS and CST microwave studio. A good accord is getting between the simulated and measured results. This antenna is intended for the reader of RFID applications. 1. INTRODUCTION Radio-frequency identification, well known as RFID, is an intelligent technology system that is highly efficient, flexible and well appropriate for operations automatic. RFID is an identification method that employs radio frequency waves to capture data held in gadgets titled RFID tags. It presents various advantages compared with other identification technologies for instance barcodes. It is a contactless technology, which makes the automatic interchange of information rapid and extra efficient. It can operate under a diversity of environmental conditions, allows storing a quantity of encrypted and secured data. RFID technology employs electromagnetic fields to identify, monitor and trail objects, animals or people remotely utilize radio waves [1], [2]. An RFID radio frequency identification system typically comprises of two entities that communicate together, a smart tag and a reader. The tag linked with the element to be identified who is able to respond to a request from a reader. The latter has the task of identifying the label. It sends an electromagnetic wave to the element to be recognized. As a response, the reader obtains the information sent back by the tag. RFID systems can be designed to operate in low-frequency (BF) to the super-high-frequency band (SHF). This operation has been standardized to keep away from any interference with another electromagnetic device [3]. The frequency bands allocated to RFID applications are a low-frequency band
A High-Gain Passive UHF-RFID Tag with Increased Read Range
Sensors, 2016
In this work, a passive ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification UHF-RFID tag based on a 1.25 wavelengths thin dipole antenna is presented for the first time. The length of the antenna is properly chosen in order to maximize the tag read range, while maintaining a reasonable tag size and radiation pattern. The antenna is matched to the RFID chip by means of a very simple matching network based on a shunt inductance. A tag prototype, based on the Alien Higgs-3 chip, is designed and fabricated. The overall dimensions are 400 mmˆ14.6 mm, but the tag width for most of its length is delimited by the wire diameter (0.8 mm). The measured read range exhibits a maximum value of 17.5 m at the 902-928 MHz frequency band. This represents an important improvement over state-of-the-art passive UHF-RFID tags.
