With the rapid development of RFID (radio frequency identification) application, the design requirements of RFID tag antenna are also increasing. A design of dual-frequency or multi-frequency tag antenna has become fashionable. In the present paper, we design a dual-band RFID tag antenna, which consists of a bent microstrip patch and rectangular microstrip patch. The designed antenna is analyzed and optimized by HFSS13. Simulation results indicate that the tag antenna has the characteristics of double band, high gain, and good radiation pattern.

A compact (50 × 50 × 4 mm3) dual-band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna mountable on metallic objects is proposed for the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band (917∼923.5 MHz) and the microwave (MW) band (2.4∼2.45 GHz). With the proximity-coupled feed loop, the proposed antenna consists of two symmetric planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) elements for the UHF band passive tag and a meander microstrip patch antenna for the MW band active tag. The performance of the proposed antenna is verified by mounting it on the different sizes of the metallic object. Furthermore, the passive tag antenna in the UHF band furthermore may be used for energy harvesting techniques to improve the lifetime of the active tag in the MW band. The measured maximum read range is 5.50 m in the UHF band and 14.15 m in the MW band when the proposed tag antenna is mounted on the metallic objects. The total efficiency for all operating frequency bands is higher than 50%. High isolation (>12 dB) between tag antennas in the UHF band and the MW band is achieved.

In this paper, a dual-band dipole antenna for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag application at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz is designed and optimized using HFSS 13. The proposed antenna is composed of a bent microstrip patch and a coupled rectangular microstrip patch. The optimal results of this antenna are obtained by sweeping antenna parameters. Its return losses reach to -18.7732 dB and -18.2514 dB at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The bandwidths (Return loss <=-10 dB) are 2.42~2.50 GHz and 5.77~5.82 GHz. And the relative bandwidths are 3.3% and 0.9%. It shows good impedance, gain, and radiation characteristics for both bands of interest. Besides, the input impedance of the proposed antenna may be tuned flexibly to conjugate-match to that of the IC chip.

in this paper, we propose a new multi-band patch antenna structure for embedded RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers and wireless communications. The proposed antenna is a dual band microstrip patch antenna using U-slot geometry. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are chosen as 2.4 and 0.9 (GHz), obtained by optimizing the physical dimensions of the U-slot. Several parameters have been investigated using Ansoft Designer software. The antenna is fed through a quarter wavelength transformer for impedance matching. An additional layer of alumina is added above the surface of the conductors to increase the performance of the antenna.

Abstract This paper presents a dual-band 1 × 4 antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) array with high gain to operate over a dual-frequency band that covers the 5G frequency spectrum. The gain is enhanced by employing a dielectric lens (DL). The AVA array consists of four radiating patch elements, corrugations, DL, and array feeding network on the top side. The bottom side contains four radiating patches which are the mirror images of top radiating patches. The designed AVA contains 1 × 4 array antenna elements with a DL that is operating in the ranges of 24.59–24.98 and 27.06–29 GHz. The dimensions of the designed antenna are 97.2 mm × 71.2 mm × 0.8 mm. For the improvement in gain and impedance matching at the dual-band frequency, corrugation and feeding network techniques are used. The gain obtained is about 8–12 dBi. AVA array is tested after fabrication and the measured results are reliable with the simulation results.

This paper proposes a new synchronized serial-parallel CRC(Cycle Redundancy Check) with PIE(Pulse Interval Encoding) decoding circuit for the UHF(Ultra-High Frequency) RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), which is based on the ISO/IEC 18000-6C standards protocol. The parallel algorithm of CRC circuit is derived, and the serial or parallel CRC circuit on RFID tag chip is evaluated in this paper. Finally, the designed circuit is simulated and analyzed on the FPGA platform. Simulation results show that the proposed circuit meets the communication requirement of the protocol and addresses the problem of low data processing rate of conventional serial CRC circuit, as well as implements 1 to 8 degree of parallelism of the parallel CRC circuit for UHF RFID.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is lagging behind because of vendor specific solutions and expensiveimplementation cost. In particular, the reader is the most expensive part. A WiFi compatible tag was proposed to usethe WNIC as an RFID reader. However, no specific modulator or demodulator was suggested. This paper analyzesthe various IEEE 802.11 standards and their modulation and coding techniques keeping the desired properties of anRFID system in consideration. After the analysis, a digital modulator and demodulator for RFID tag in IEEE 802.11protocol employing Direct Sequence Spread-Spectrum (DSSS) and coding is proposed. A MOD-11 synchronouscounter is designed for the 11-bit encoder which generates the desired Barker code. Data are multiplied with thisBarker code to modulate the data, and the received data are multiplied with the Barker code to demodulate them. Theproposed modulator and demodulator are implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology. The simulation results showthat 1 bit is spread to 11 bits by the modulator and 11-bit received data are demodulated to 1 bit correctly. Theproposed design is simple, resistant to multipath fading and interference and offers the highest distance with thelowest BER for an RFID tag.

Design procedure of a high gain dual-band printed monopole antenna, resonating at 2.4 GHz and 5.5 GHz, is presented. The proposed design meets the specifications required by WI-FI, WIMAX and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. Our design utilizes Rogers RT/Duroid 5880(tm) substrate, and the major radiation element is an annular circular patch shape. The design was improved by adding a face-to-face fork shape metal inside the annular circular patch. The antenna feed consists of a microstrip line and a slotted transformer section for matching purpose. A prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and the measurements of the return loss and antenna radiation pattern were performed. The comparison between the results obtained from the simulation and the measurements showed an excellent agreement.

Harmonic Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have attracted significant interest over the last decade as it provides many benefits over the conventional RFID systems. Harmonic RFID is desired over conventional RFID systems due to reduced self-jamming, location accuracy from dual frequency, and higher phase noise immunity. In a harmonic RFID system, the tag receives instructions from the reader at an RF carrier frequency and replies back at the harmonic of the RF frequency. A nonlinear element consuming very low power at the tag is required to generate the harmonic carrier for the battery-less system. In this review article, a detailed contrast between conventional and harmonic RFID systems is presented. This is followed by different circuit design techniques to generate harmonics and integration techniques to form a fully operable passive harmonic RFID tag. Also, a wide range of applications, especially sensor integration with harmonic RFID’s, along with the future trends are presented.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the application of electromagnetic fields to identify and track tags that attached on the objects. It transmits or reads the radio frequency waves in the system. However, due to rapid development of technology in telecommunication, a much more smaller and flexible device is needed. Therefore, in this paper, a new design of flexible RFID antenna using metamaterial structure has been proposed. At first, the basic rectangular microstrip patch antenna with resonant frequency of 900MHz is designed. Then, the CSRR metamaterial structure is introduced at the ground plane to reduce the size of the antenna while the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material is being use as the antenna substrate for flexibility. All the simulation designs were done using CST software. The antenna performances such as resonant frequency, return loss, radiation pattern, gain and bandwidth are then be analyzed and presented. The results show good performances and can be applied for future application.

This paper discusses novel methodologies for the characterization of harmonic signals generated by wireless powered devices, i.e. passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, due to the wireless power transferred from reader to tag. Theoretical aspects, as well as measurements to characterize these non-linear phenomena are exposed. Particular care is taken to explain the analysis methodology and setup for two kinds of characterization measurements: radiated and conducted. The existence of harmonic signals carrying information is exploited in an advanced application example. A dual-band RFID tag is designed to increase the backscattered harmonic level in the tag-to-reader link. Measurement of this dual band tag demonstrates the exploitation of the hitherto neglected harmonic power; it also opens the door to more advanced applications exploiting the harmonic-link communication.
