“…The effective gain of the PTs is maximal, compared to the PPTs, leading to long-range communication with a perfect impedance matching network. In terms of tag sensitivity, the PPTs of [ 17 , 18 , 22 , 23 ] were less sensitive, as the bandwidth was estimated under the S11 of −10 dB, where they had less BW. The incredible RR of our tags (6.88 and 9.22 m for EU and NA UHF RFID bands, respectively) were greater than the other PPT cases in Table 4 .…”

“…A cavity structure tag antenna (CSTA) and a bottom metal tag antenna (BMTA) were structured for metal body logistics monitoring using Higgs-3 flip-chip package. The directivity of the CSTA was more noteworthy than that of the BMTA [ 18 ]; however, its figure of merit (FOM) was low on the basis of the read range to antenna size ratio (as discussed in [ 19 ]).…”

Upcoming 5th-generation (5G) systems incorporate physical objects (referred to as things), which sense the presence of components such as gears, gadgets, and sensors. They may transmit many kinds of states in the smart city context, such as new deals at malls, safe distances on roads, patient heart rhythms (especially in hospitals), and logistic control at aerodromes and seaports around the world. These serve to form the so-called future internet of things (IoT). From this futuristic perspective, everything should have its own identity. In this context, radio frequency identification (RFID) plays a specific role, which provides wireless communications in a secure manner. Passive RFID tags carry out work using the energy harvested among massive systems. RFID has been habitually realized as a prerequisite for IoT, the combination of which is called IoT RFID (I-RFID). For the current scenario, such tags should be productive, low-profile, compact, easily mountable, and have eco-friendly features. The presently available tags are not cost-effective and have not been proven as green tags for environmentally friendly IoT in 5G systems nor are they suitable for long-range communications in 5G systems. The proposed I-RFID tag uses the meandering angle technique (MAT) to construct a design that satisfies the features of a lower-cost printed antenna over the worldwide UHF RFID band standard (860–960 MHz). In our research, tag MAT antennas are fabricated on paper-based Korsnäs by screen- and flexo-printing, which have lowest simulated effective outcomes with dielectric variation due to humidity and have a plausible read range (RR) for European (EU; 866–868 MHz) and North American (NA; 902–928 MHz) UHF band standards. The I-RFID tag size is reduced by 36% to 38% w.r.t. a previously published case, the tag gain has been improved by 23.6% to 33.12%, and its read range has been enhanced by 50.9% and 59.6% for EU and NA UHF bands, respectively. It provides impressive performance on some platforms (e.g., plastic, paper, and glass), thereby providing a new state-of-the-art I-RFID tag with better qualities in 5G systems.
