In this paper, a novel 3D planar inverted-L antenna (PILA) Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag mountable on metallic surfaces is proposed for the Internet of Things (IoT) indoor localization applications. The proposed tag antenna (45 mm × 82 mm × 4 mm or 0.137λ × 0.25λ × 0.012λ) is designed for mounting on metallic objects. The 3D PILA antenna is fabricated using a copper sheet of thickness 1 mm and air as the dielectric substrate in order to minimize costs for materials and realization. In the design, T-slot has been inserted in the radiating element for tuning of the tag’s resonance for achieving good matching with the chip. Also, a simple equivalent circuit model has been obtained to analyze the impedance of the 3D PILA. Based on the optimized design, the fabricated prototype has been measured in the anechoic chamber. The resonant frequency of the proposed tag is stable, and it is not affected much by the metallic object. The measurement results of the antenna prototype demonstrated a reasonable agreement with the simulation results, and a read range of 3.6 m was measured inside an anechoic chamber. Most importantly, in the building hallway, the proposed tag is able to achieve a maximum read distance of 18 m with a transmitted power of 31.5 dBm at 867 MHz when placed on metal. With the 3D PILA antenna structure, the proposed antimetal tag is a suitable solution that can be integrated into an indoor localization scenario.

The Difference

In this paper, a miniaturized Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (UHF-RFID) tag-based sensor antenna using a magneto- dielectric substrate (MDS) for wireless identification and sensor applications is presented. Two models of RFID tag-based sensors are designed, fabricated and measured. The first model uses two RFID tags; both of the tags are incorporated with two RFID chips. A passive sensor is also integrated in one of the proposed tags to serve as a sensor node, while the other tag is used as a reference node. Based on the difference in the minimum power required to activate the reference and sensor nodes, the sensed data (temperature or humidity) can be determined. The magneto-dielectric substrate layer is placed underneath the patch antenna to reduce the size of the proposed sensor by about 75% compared to a conventional RFID tag-based sensor. The magneto-dielectric layer is thin enough to embed in the planer circuit. To reduce the size of the proposed sensor, a multi-port tag for including the reference and sensor node in one antenna is also presented. The proposed RFID tag-based sensors have several features such as small size, they are completely capable for two objectives at the same time and easy to integrate with a planer circuit.

Main Research

Due to the proliferation of the IoT devices, indoor location-based service is bringing huge business values and potentials. The positioning accuracy is restricted by the variability and complexity of the indoor environment. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as a key technology of the Internet of Things, has became the main research direction in the field of indoor positioning because of its non-contact, non-line-of-sight and strong anti-interference abilities. This paper proposes the deep leaning approach for RFID based indoor localization. Since the measured Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) can be influenced by many indoor environment factors, Kalman filter is applied to erase the fluctuation. Furthermore, linear interpolation is adopted to increase the density of the reference tags. In order to improve the processing ability of the fingerprint database, deep neural network is adopted together with the fingerprinting method to optimize the non-linear mapping between fingerprints and indoor coordinates. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy with a mean estimation error of 0.347 m.

This paper describes the design of a novel ultrahigh frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) tag thread that mainly consisted of the common yarn and the normal mode helix dipole antenna. The linear dipole antenna for the UHF RFID tag thread was too long to miniaturize the tag. In order to maximize the read performance and miniaturize the size of the tag, the basic antenna structure parameters, such as the helical pitch and single arm length, were optimized by analyzing the radiation parameter S11 of the normal mode helix dipole antenna based on simulation experiments. The simulation experiments started with optimizing the single arm length to obtain the minimum of the S11 parameter at resonant frequency, then the helical pitch was further optimized to limit the resonant frequency to the UHF range. The simulation results showed the resonant frequency rises with an increase of helical pitch and declines with an increase of single arm length. Furthermore, a series of UHF RFID tag threads with good performance from the simulation cases were prepared, and the performance of the optimized tag was validated. Generally, the UHF RFID tag thread with optimized helix dipole antenna could reduce the axial length of the tag by 57% and improve the reading range by 500%, and its performance was greatly superior to that of the UHF RFID tag thread with the classical linear dipole antenna.

This article describes the design of an Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) miniature folded dipole Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag antenna that can be mountable on metallic objects. The compact tag antenna is formed from symmetric C-shaped resonators connected with additional arms embedded into the outer strip lines for miniaturization purposes. It is loaded with outer strip lines, resulting in a flexible tuning method that is capable of matching the integrated circuit (IC) chip’s impedance. The proposed tag is fabricated on a single layer of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrate. It has simple structure and does not require any metallic vias or shorting plate. The miniature tag antenna with a size of 82.75 × 19.5 × 1.5   mm 3 yields a total realized gain of − 0.53   dB at the resonance frequency when attached to a 40 × 40   cm 2 metal plate. The presented design utilizes a European RFID band, and the simulated results of realized gain, read range, and input impedance are verified with measurement results.

A new ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna, which is comprised a U-shaped tuning stub and a dipole radiator for different permittivity surfaces is investigated, fabricated, and measured. For a conjugate match to the NXP G2XM chip impedance of 29–j137 at 915 MHz, a dipole tag antenna with U-shaped stubconnected to dipole arms was designed. Simple size adjustments of the U-shaped tuning stub and dipole radiator of the antenna allow for easy control of the antenna resistance and inductive reactance, from which the chip impedance requirement may be readily satisfied. The read range of the prototype antenna attached on a different permittivity surfaces (εr= 1–4) can reach more than 4.5 m, which has been tested for an RFID reader with 4.0 W of effective isotropic radiated power. The antenna structure consists of two dipole load bars and two loop electrically connected. The design offers more choice of freedom to tune the input impedance of the proposed antenna. Measurement data are presented which are in good agreement with simulation results. The design is suitable for mounting on all kinds of objects. The fabricated tag sensitivity of −3 dBm, read range of 7 m on the x–z and y–z planes, and the measured orientation radiation patterns were obtained in the desired frequency band.
