    This paper presents a compact loop antenna with parasitic split ring for the reader of the UHF RFID application. The proposed antenna is made up of the rectangular loop structure (feeding element) and the parasitic split ring to reduce the overall antenna dimension. It is found that the size can be decreased by 50% of the typical single loop antenna. The simulation is carried out by using CST Microwave Studio program based on the Finite Integral Technique (FIT). Furthermore, the antenna parameters are optimized using the Quasi Newton method. The effect of the antenna parameters on the impedance bandwidth are investigated in this paper. The comparison between the simulation and experimental results are also discussed. From the results, the antenna has the S<inf>11</inf> less than -10 dB along the bandwidth of 12MHz (1.6%). It can be operated in UHF RFID system in Thailand with the frequency band from 920MHz to 925 MHz. The omnidirectional beam is obtained with the maximum gain of 1.5 dBi at the center frequency of 922.5 MHz. The antenna is designed on FR4-substrate. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 51mm x 38mm x 0.8mm (0.15λx 0.11λx 0.02̧). It is easily embedded inside handheld reader. Moreover, the proposed antenna is simple structure, low profile and easy fabrication. Therefore, the compact loop antenna with parasitic split ring can be employed with a handheld UHF RFID reader.

    The dual-band band-stop filter using a hexagonal-shape microstrip line is presented in this paper. The chipless RFID with the band-stop filter used to determine the relative permittivity of material under test and identify characteristic based on the unique responded signal from the chipless RFID sensor. This paper proposed the multiple microstrip line structure with a quarter-wavelength transformer to generate an identification (ID) code, i.e., ID-01, ID-10, and ID-11 at the center frequency of 2.2 GHz and 2.7 GHz. From the results, the proposed chipless RFID sensor can be identified and determined the relative permittivity of the LWC.

    A Compact Label-Typed L-Shaped Slot UHF RFID Tag Antenna Mountable on Metallic Cans
    (2022-01-01)

    ;
    This paper presents the design of a compact label-type UHF RFID tag antenna which designed for mounted on metallic items in supply chain goods such as metallic cans. The proposed tag antenna is a single copper line with L-shaped slot. This design is intended to obtain a narrow structure to make it possible to attach the tag antenna in the longitudinal and transverse along the metallic cans without being bulky. The tag antenna impedance is easy for turning impedance matching with RFID IC chip by adjusting the length and width of the line. The overall dimension of the proposed tag antenna on the metal actual cans is 94 × 6 × 0.8 m3. The proposed tag antenna covers the targeted UHF RFID bands (920-925 MHz) with -10 dB|Γ| bandwidth of 25 MHz.

    The radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are proposed to be employed as remotely read dielectric-property sensors to determine qualities of some construction material products (CMPs); e.g., light weight concrete (LWC), mortar specimens and concrete. This paper presents a study of the characteristics of an RFID tag mounted at several locations on the LWC. The numerical simulations are performed using the CST Microwave Studio to study effects of tag, where the folded dipole with an inductive loop tag antenna is used. Results show that locations of an RFID tag on LWC affects the tag antenna characteristics such as input impedance, gain and radiation pattern. © 2012 IEEE.

    This paper presents recent advances in radiofrequency identification (RFID) sensors for monitoring applications of construction material products (CMPs) (e.g., light weight concrete (LWC) and concrete). These RFID sensors can offer both identification and sensing capabilities simultaneously without any additional sensors. The research and development of both chipped and chipless RFID sensors will be discussed during presentation, including their interesting applications.

    The dual-band chipless RFID sensor is proposed to employ as a wireless material quality monitoring application. A printed perpendicular rectangular loop tag and a printed concentric rectangular loop tag are designed and optimized using the CST Microwave Studio program. The chipless RFID sensors are located on a material surface to determine qualities of a material under test. From numerical results, it is found that the proposed dual-band chipless RFID-sensor has a significant different radar cross section (RCS) compared with the single-band one. Therefore, both RFID sensors can be used together in the material quality monitoring system to improve the accuracy.
