Based on transformer antenna theory, this paper first presents an analytical model for near-field magnetic coupling incorporating transformer inductance coil system. Formulae are derived for the self inductance and mutual inductance characteristics at the reader antenna. The paper then describes how this model and electromagnetic simulation are used for the design of a prototype Three Dimensional (3D) RFID antenna application as well as the results achieved.
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.
