A compact ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RFID tag with meander feed line and double T-match structure is proposed. The tag is composed of a copper layer at the upper and bottom side of a Rogers 5880 substrate, with the relative permittivity of 2.2 and a UCODE G2XM/G2XL chip from NXP Semiconductor. The tag with the overall dimension of 58 x 34 x 0.85 mm 3 is not sensitive to the objects it is attached to including metallic object since the performance of the tag in free air and on metal objects remains almost the same. The double T-matching technique is implemented in the antenna design to easily match the antenna and the chip impedance. The antenna is designed to operate in Malaysia frequency range (919 -923 MHZ). The performance of the tag is evaluated through simulation in terms of impedance matching, reflection coefficient and reading range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
