Abstract

Design and testing of an equal-spaced rectangular meander-line antenna (ESRMLA) for RFID tag applications in the European UHF band 865-868 MHz is presented. The tag antenna was modelled and analysed using two established electromagnetic simulator packages. For validation, a prototype tag antenna was constructed and tested. The input impedance of the proposed antenna was verified against the simulated data results and the measured and simulated results were found to be in good agreement. The tag has a compact size (63.2 mm × 21.9 mm) and shows excellent impedance matching to the typical input impedance of an RFID integrated circuit chip.
