Printable RFID Antenna with Embedded Sensor and Calibration Functions

Yasar Amin, Rajeev Kumar Kanth, Pasi Liljeberg, Adeel Akram, Qiang Chen, Li-Rong Zheng, Hannu Tenhunen, Printable RFID Antenna with Embedded Sensor and Calibration Functions. In: He Sailing (Ed.), Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium , 567–570, Proceedings of PIERS, 2013.

Abstract:

In this paper, an RFID tag antenna which has incorporated humidity sensor functionality along with calibration mechanism due to distinctiveness of its structural behavior, is proposed. The sensor-enabled antenna is directly printed on paper substrate using state-of the-art inkjet printing technology for realizing the eco-friendly and ultra-low cost wireless sensor network (WSN) module. The antenna has reduced profile that paves the way for small item level tagging and monitoring. The effect of humidity on paper-based antenna characteristics along with other electromagnetic parameters is investigated to evaluate the antenna performance under realistic operating conditions. The proposed antenna exhibits wider operational bandwidth and extended read range while at the same time provides an additional degree of freedom for sensor calibration. In addition, sustainability and environmental impact analysis is performed which validates the
tag’s eco-friendliness.
