A Novel Planar Microstrip Antenna Design for UHF RFID

Tags:
rfid

Overview Passive UHF RFID tags generally do not work well near metal or water. Microstrip antennas offer a potential solution, but suffer from manufacturing complexity because a need for via or some other reference to ground. This paper presents a new antenna and matching circuit design using a balanced feed that eliminates any reference to ground and thus simplifies the antenna's construction.
