In this paper, the power transfer efficiencies (PTEs) of magnetic resonance (MR) wireless power transmission (WPT) and radio frequency (RF) WPT are compared as a function of the distances between resonators (or antennas). The PTE of the C-loaded loop resonators during MR WPT was theoretically calculated and simulated at 6.78MHz, showing good agreement. The PTE of the patch antennas, whose area is the same as the C-loaded loop resonator during MR WPT, was theoretically calculated using the Friis equation and the equation by N. Shinohara and simulated at 5.8 GHz. The three results from the Friis equation, the equation by N. Shinohara, and from a full wave simulation are in strong agreement. The PTEs, when using the same size resonators and antennas are compared by considering the distance between the receiver and transmitter. The compared results show that the MR WPT PTE is higher than that of the RF WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is shorter. However, the RF WPT PTE is much higher than that of the MR WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is longer since the RF WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-2}$ while the MR WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-6}$.

In this paper, the effects of a metal plane on the performance of a meandered slot RFID antenna are evaluated in a real environment, and 3 metal plane cases are considered (the most likely scenarios in which metal conductive materials are placed near the tag antenna). The metal plane effects can be categorized as matching degradation and antenna gain variation. First, matching degradation due to the antenna's induced mutual impedance is experimentally investigated. In addition, the gain variation is investigated to figure out the change in the radiation characteristics. With the derived antenna parameters, the read range is calculated with the Friis transmission equation and measured to analyze the effects of a metal plane on RFID system performance. The calculated and measured read range varies from 9.3 m to 19.1 m as the distance between the RFID antenna and the metal plane changes.

일반적으로 안테나 이득 또는 인자를 측정하는 방법으로서 3-안테나법, 표준안테나법, 표준시험장법 등이 있다. 이들 방법은 주파수 영역에서 반사파 등을 고려하여 자유 공간 또는 준자유 공간의 값을 측정한다. 본 논문은 시간 영역에서 반사파를 추적 제거함으로써 야외시험장에서 자유 공간 안테나 이득 인자를 측정 및 교정하는 방법을 논의한다. 시간 영역에서 측정한 전송 계수 $S_{21}$으로부터 직접파 및 반사파가 수신 안테나에 도달하는 시간차로 이들을 구분하고, 게이팅 기능과 역 푸리에 변환으로 직접파의 주파수 응답 만을 추출하였다. 시간 영역 기능을 갖추고 있는 네트워크 분석기로 안테나 높이를 변화시키면서 이들 파의 경로차를 만들어 1~18 GHz 대역 더블리지 혼 안테나의 반응시간을 분석 하였으며, 그 경로차에 의한 응답을 분리 추출하여 자유 공간 안테나 이득을 측정하였다. 이 결과를ANSI C635의 표준시험장법으로 교정한 결과와 상호 비교하여 좋은 일치가 있음을 보였다.
