Design of Double-Layer Copper Sheet for RFID Tags Antenna

Abstract:

This paper demonstrates a design of double-layer copper sheet suitable for RFID tags antenna called extended double-layer flexible strip dipole antenna. RFID tag antenna is widely used with different surfaces. The result found that RFID tag antenna can be bended or curved responding to the cylinder shape of the objects. Our proposed extended double-layer flexible strip dipole antenna has been technically designed to make changes on itself to obtain the result in increasing resonance frequency when it is being bended. The key concept of the study is the designed antenna which can freely change inside each layer when applying itself on curved object. The result of this design reveals that antenna has better performance than modern antenna. The extended double-layer flexible strip dipole antenna for RFID tags was designed for resonance frequency of 2.45 GHz. Consequently, the analysis of antennas efficiency will be affected by thickness. The designed antenna there will be considered and discussed to find out the relative value in order to use creating the design for the antenna that is suitable for the further study.
