Design of a Novel Tag Antenna Mountable on the Side of Cigarette Carton

Article Preview

Abstract:

The growing interest of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications has seen problems emerging in the identification of object, especially those that contain conductive material. A low-cost novel tag antenna for a RFID tag which could be mounted on the side of cigarette carton is proposed in this paper. Since the cigarette carton contains conductive material, radiation properties of the antenna could be affected significantly. The specific parameters of the antenna were optimized based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The performance of the tag antenna design affixed to the cigarette carton containing metallic foil is verified with read range measurements. The proposed antenna has a simulated bandwidth from 863 MHz to 943 MHz ( < -10 dB) for conjugate-matching with a commercial tag chip.
