Abstract

Abstract A flexible radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna with a T-match feeder is proposed in this paper. The T-match feed acts as the conjugate network matching of the tag antenna and 0.99 of power transfer coefficient was achieved. By incorporating a meander line and capacitive tip loading technique, the compact size is realized with a wide bandwidth of 44MHz that can cover the RFID spectrum allocated for the Malaysia region, from 919 to 923 MHz. The proposed antenna is printed on the flexible polyethene terephthalate (PET) substrate with a dimension of 90mm × 24mm × 0.143mm. By employing 4W EIRP power, the detection distance of 29.15m in free space. The proposed meandered line and capacitive tip loading tag antenna with T-match feed line is beneficial to be part of the RFID systems because of their compactness, wide bandwidth and high-power transfer coefficient.
