By introducing an L-shaped metal plate connecting with the spiral monopole antenna, a planar compact ultra-high-frequency (UHF) tag antenna for radiofrequency identification system is proposed. With the overall antenna size of only 13 × 9 × 1.6 mm3, the proposed tag antenna provides the measured impedance bandwidth of 12 MHz to comply with Taiwan UHF operating band (922–928 MHz). The measured peak gain and antenna efficiency are approximately −1.1 dBi and 27% for Taiwan UHF band, respectively. Meanwhile, the measured reading distance can approach 250 m. Good tag sensitivity is obtained across the desired frequency band.

AbstractOne of the potential application areas for organic and polymers transistors is in radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags. One of the key components of an RFID tag is the front-end rectifier that must rectify a 13.56 MHz AC signal received from a resonant tuned antenna. The rectifier supplies operating power to the tag. Organic transistor circuits have hitherto not operated at this high frequency. We show that by operating pentacene transistors in the non-quasi-static (NQS) regime such operating speeds can be achieved in rectifier circuits. The circuits were fabricated on flexible plastic substrates and employed a solution-cast dielectric. The pentacene mobilities are in the range 0.1-1.5 cm2/V-s. The channel lengths of the transistors are in the range 2-4 μm. Full-wave NQS mode rectifiers were measured to have voltage rectification efficiency in excess of 28% at 14 MHz, demonstrating that such circuits can be used in RFID tags. These circuits operated successfully at speeds up to 20 MHz.
