Radio-frequency identification technology finds extensive use in various industrial applications, including those involving metallic surfaces. The integration of radio-frequency identification systems with metal surfaces, such as those found in the automotive sector, presents distinct challenges that can notably affect system efficacy due to metal’s tendency to reflect electromagnetic waves, thus degrading the functionality of conventional radio-frequency identification tags. This highlights the importance of conducting research into academic publications and patents to grasp the current advancements and challenges in this field, aiming to improve the applications of radio-frequency identification tags technology on metal. Consequently, this research undertakes a concise review of both the literature and patents exploring radio-frequency identification technology’s use for on-metal tags, utilizing resources like Google Scholar and Google Patents. The research categorized crucial aspects such as tag flexibility, operating frequency, and geographic origins of the research. Findings highlight China’s prominent role in contributing to metal-focused radio-frequency identification tag research, with a considerable volume of articles and patents. In particular, flexible tags and the Ultra-High Frequency range are dominant in both scholarly and patent documents, reflecting their significance in radio-frequency identification technology applications. The research underscores a vibrant area of development within radio-frequency identification technology, with continued innovation driven by specific industrial needs. Despite the noted advances, the presence of a significant percentage of no longer valid patents suggests substantial opportunities for further research and innovation in radio-frequency identification technology for on-metal applications, especially considering the demand for flexible tags and for solutions in systems that offer specialized characteristics or are tailored for specific uses.

“…Although, the fabricated tag antenna performed satisfactorily in terms of read range and wearability, its dependence on special materials for fabrication does not make it an economical solution. The paper 24 proposes the design of a tag with a microstrip antenna etched on a FR4 substrate. It also employed a double T‐match network coupled with folded dipoles.…”

This paper presents a methodical design and prototyping of a passive European ultra‐high frequency (UHF) band radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder. The transponder has a 70 × 17 × 0.3 mm3 copper antenna whose design is based on the folded dipole architecture and utilizes techniques such as meandering and end loading to match a Texas Instruments (TI) UHF‐RFID chip through a T‐match feeding network. The tag's simulated and measured performances indicate good coverage of the entire UHF band with a return loss better than 10 dB. The transponder was then fabricated using inexpensive off‐the‐shelf materials and its performance was tested. The proposed tag achieved good gain, read range, and cost efficiency when compared with current folded dipole antennas and can be easily adapted for various applications such as supply chain, access or security, and vehicle identification.
