Book Description
The first topic in this chapter was an introduction to RFID systems. This was followed immediately with a discussion on metamaterials and LH-propagation. Expressions for the propagation constants, phase velocity and Bloch impedance were derived and discussed. Next, several metamaterial-based antenna designs for passive RFID tags were presented. The designs offered showed that by incorporating elements found in metamaterials in the design of the antenna on a RFID tag, the antenna could be made to resonate at a much smaller dimension. The result is a compact passive RFID tag with very useful max read range values.

Book Description
This book describes innovative design solutions for radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and antennas. Focusing mainly on passive ultra-high-frequency (UHF)-RFID tag antennas, it examines novel approaches based on the use of metamaterial-inspired resonators and other resonant structures as radiating elements. It also offers an exhaustive analysis of the radiation properties of several metamaterial-inspired resonators such as the split ring resonator (SRR) and related structures. Further, it discusses in detail an innovative technology for the RFID tagging of optical discs, which has demonstrated a significant improvement over the state of the art and resulted in a patent. By covering the entire research cycle of theory, design/simulation and fabrication/evaluation of RFID tags and antennas, while also reporting on cutting-edge technologies, the book provides graduate students, researchers and practitioners alike with a comprehensive and timely overview of RFID systems, and a closer look at several radiating structures.

Book Description
The emergence of passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems has led to the annual production of RFID tags in the billions. Two graphite-based solutions developed at the Limerick Pulp and Paper Research Centre (LPPRC) were identified as possible candidates to achieve a more environmentally conscious tag with less complex manufacturing methods compared to what is currently available on the market. These materials are almost entirely composed of carbon and can be formed onto a biodegradable paper substrate using relatively simple methods. The materials’ intrinsic properties are characterized and a simulation profile is created to aid in the design of an optimized tag antenna. Conductivities of 600 S/m and 39,000 S/m are measured for the two graphite-ink and exfoliated-graphite based papers, respectively. Anechoic chamber read range measurements are performed using a commercial RFID reader. Maximum theoretical read ranges for prototype tags built using graphite-ink and exfoliated-graphite based papers are found to be 2.26 m and 6.83 m, respectively. Comparison of graphite-based tag prototypes and a commercial tag suggests that they are suitable for applications where the benefits of manufacturability and bio-degradability outweigh the disadvantage of a large antenna footprint. Six total designs with varying read ranges, complexities, sizes, and materials are found.

Book Description
RFID is a technology for wireless identification of objects. More recently, much attention is paid to application areas within biomedical engineering, in which wearable tags for on-body use could provide real-time remote bio-monitoring of humans. New types of antenna materials and antenna structures are emerging to fulfil the requirements encountered within the new RFID application areas. Tag designs where the tag antenna structure is formed from conductive ink or conductive threads have been proposed as competitive materials to conventional etched copper. The new materials used to form the complex antenna materials are challenging to model accurately. In this book, a novel radiation efficiency measurement method is developed and verified for measurement of passive UHF RFID dipole tag antennas. The measurement method provides a powerful tool for characterisation of complex antenna material structures losses in practise. The acquired information can be used to optimise tag antenna material structures and to improve tag antenna performance and reliability, which is crucial for widespread use of RFID to become reality.

Book Description
As a first step, the effects of dielectric materials on an antenna's impedance match and radiation pattern are investigated. The detuning effect is quantified based on the theoretical frequency scaling and effective permittivity of a dielectric material of finite thickness. Using simple formulas, the operational range of a tag can be predicted without intensive full-wave simulations of different materials. Next, a spectral domain Green's function is applied to compute the antenna pattern when the tag is mounted on or inside a layered medium. The optimal placement of the tag is found based on the focusing effect that the material has on the gain pattern of the antenna. For tires, the steel ply in the sidewall of a tire looks like a periodic wire grating. The performance of an antenna placed close to a wire grating is predicted using Floquet theory. The results indicate that steel plies embedded in the tire can be utilized as a reflector to further focus the gain pattern and increase the read range of a tag. Using these design tools and theoretical analysis, several broadband RFID tag antennas are designed for multi-layered materials. A novel stretchable conductive textile (E-fiber) based tag antenna is also developed for placement in elastic materials. Prototype antennas are fabricated and embedded in a tire during the tire manufacturing process. Experimental results indicate that tags with the new antennas achieve significant improvement compared with commercially available tags.
