Simulation and Fabrication of a Low-Cost RFID Reader

Reader Antennas for a Low-Cost Chipless RFID System

“…The whole system with the proposed antennas is validated as RFID readers in an experimental setup. This work extends the research described in articles [4] and [5]. As far as we know, the design which is proposed in this article for the reader antennas is not found elsewhere in the literature.…”

“…As far as we know, the design which is proposed in this article for the reader antennas is not found elsewhere in the literature. In comparison to [4] and [5], this article presents the fabrication of antennas, with a measurement campaign for characterizing one of the proposed microstrip meander antennas.…”

An Overview of RF and Microwave Research in Latin America: Scanning Latin American Research on Microwaves

“…Excluding the areas of optics and optoelectronics, where Brazil has a strong research tradition, the research scope on RF and microwaves covered by Brazilian institutions is very broad. It includes antennas [12] - [16], [23], specific absorption rate (SAR) studies [17], [18], frequency selective surfaces [19]- [21], defected ground structures (DGS) [22], metamaterials [23], [24], wireless power transfer [16], [25], [26], power transmission lines monitoring [27], [28], low-cost radars for human movement detection [29], [30], CAD techniques [29]- [32], low-cost RFID technologies [33], [34], negative group delay circuits [35]- [38], EM field analysis and waveguide component design [39] - [43].…”
