“…In addition to its compactness, it has a simple structure that does not contain any short-circuit elements (vias and pins), which makes it easy to manufacture with a reduced cost. In terms of reading distance, our tag has a longer reading range than the tags published in [23,24], and almost similar to that of [25]. We can conclude that our tag offers an optimal reading range compared to its miniature size.…”

A miniaturized tag antenna is presented in this paper, for operating in the RFID UHF American band, in free space or in a metallic environment. The proposed antenna is printed on a single layer FR4 substrate, and designed first to work in a free space. The shape of the π-match allowed us to achieve a good matching between the antenna impedance and that of the chip. The correspondence between simulation results in CST and HFSS pushed us to manufacture a prototype of our tag. After that, we simulated the proposed antenna in a metallic area, by adding a square metal plate separated with the antenna by a foam-layer, in order to test the performance of the tag in this environment. An optimization procedure enabled us to achieve a good performance when operating in metallic surroundings. Finally, we tested the reading range of the manufactured tag. We obtained a good range of about 6.5m. The final design of our proposed tag has a simple structure, a dimension of 51×26,63×0.8 3 and which is reduced by 88,64% compared to the calculated theoretical dimensions of a patch antenna operating at the resonant frequency of 915 MH.

“…Printed inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is one of the commonly used structure for metal objects tagging. However, the fabrication cost for this antenna is high due to the existence of a shorting plate or shorting pin in the antenna design and they have also the drawback of a large size [23][24][25].…”

“…According to the previous works (Table ), the read range that is achievable with these types of antennas is in the order of 6‐12 m depending on the size of the antenna which is generally about λ /12 in UHF‐RFID band. So, we can note that the tag antenna size and operating frequency impose limitations on maximum read range.…”

In this article, a new design of miniaturized split-ring resonator antenna using a meander line technique with a simple impedance matching method applicable to UHF-RFID tags is presented. The new approach is based on the integration of a meander line into the radiating element of SRR to reduce the electrical tag size and a theoretical demonstration to calculate the conjugate impedance matching and directly attach the antenna with the chip. The new SRR antenna, which is printed on the flexible substrate Arlon CuClad 250LX, is designed using Alien Higgs 3 RFID ASIC whose input impedance is 25-j190. The prototype antenna has a low-cost compact size (18.28 mm × 18.28 mm) with a read range higher than 4 m within the RFID UHF band and with a roughly 4.2-m peak range at 915 MHz. As a proof of behavior, a tag prototype is fabricated and measured to operate at a UHF RFID band. Based on some works' results, an optimized design is obtained with a 48% size reduction compared with the classic split ring resonator antenna and with a good impedance matching the antenna with RFID ASIC without the need for any external matching network.

This development in RFID technology has led to great demands in different fields all over the world, such as smart parking application agriculture, airport access control, libraries, vehicle security military, passport, supply chain, and mobile payment. 1,2 In the applications of RFID systems, the only active component reader sends radio frequency signals and information to a passive tag which includes an antenna and an integrated circuit (ASIC). The chip which contains the information about the tagged item converts the unmodulated signal and sends its information back to the reader for the automatic identification of objects. 3,4 In several UHF RFID applications, we need a small-tag antenna to be flexibly mounted on different device components. For this reason, the major challenging aspect concerning passive UHF RFID tags is the size reduction. In literature, there are lots of studies which have been reported on small tags based on dipole or patch antennas. In Ref. 5, the authors presented an overview of the RFID passive tag in terms of antenna impedance, chip impedance, antenna performance, and read range measurement. Moreover, a study on the performance of RFID U-shaped dipole tag antenna that is placed on different permittivity surfaces has been reported in Ref. 6. For near-field applications, 7 a meander line tag antenna designed for Europe band and used for short-distance RFID UHF tagging for tracking packages in transport is proposed. In Ref. 8, an RFID tag dipole antenna operating at the whole UHF frequency band has been presented to be used for bandwidth optimizati...

“…In [4], the range of achievable impedances and radiation efficiencies of the SRR operating as tag antenna was explored, considering different geometrical configurations. The radiation properties of the SRR antenna were studied analytically in [6], and applied to the design of tags in [6], [17] and [18]. In [19], a two turnsspiral resonator was analyzed and a quasi-isotropic tag was proposed.…”

A novel broadband design of a planar passive UHF-RFID tag based on a split-ring resonator (SRR) antenna and the T-match network is presented in this work. The radiation properties of the SRR working at its second resonance are exploited to design an RFID tag for the first time. The potential usefulness of the T-match based design methodology to achieve perfect matching between the SRR antenna and any typical RFID chip is demonstrated. A 0.23λ 0  0.23λ 0 tag has been fabricated. The measured read range is higher than 13 m within the whole UHF-RFID band with a peak value of 16 m at 915 MHz.
