Abstract

In this paper, we design a UHF band RFID tag antenna which is conjugate matched to an impedance of a chip and also mountable on conductive materials. The proposed tag antenna is very compact($50{\times}30{\times}4mm$) with a modified PIFA shape. The proposed tag antenna has an advantage of easy matching to various chip input impedances. The performance of the antenna is evaluated by monitoring RCS in the reader direction. The RCS of the designed tag is $-10.2\;dBm^2$ when the chip is shorted and is $-21\;dBm^2$ when the chip impedance is a complex conjugate of the antenna impedance.

본 논문에서는 UHF 대 역용(911 MHz) 태그로 금속체 부착 가능한 태그로써 PIFA 형태 를 채택하여, $50{\times}30{\times}4$ mm의 크기로 칩의 임피던스(77-j100 ${\Omega}$)와 공액 정합이 되는 태그 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. RFID 태그로부터 backscattering 되는 필드, 즉 RCS(Radar Cross Section)을 통해 태그 안테나의 성능을 평가하였다. 제안된 태그 안테나는 칩의 임피던스에 쉽게 정합시킬 수 있는 간단한 구조이고, foam을 이용하여 저가에 생산할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. RCS값이 칩이 단락일 때 RCS 값은 $-21\;dBm^2$이고, 정합일 때는 $-10.2\;dBm^2$로 효율적인 RCS 특성을 가지고 있다.
