Abstract

We propose a low cost, long range UHF RFID tag antenna for challenging environment surfaces like metal, glass and a human body. It consists of a nested-slot based patch on upper substrate and parasitic parallel strips on the second grounded substrate. The parasitic strips provide isolation by exciting some multi-resonant modes in the presence of metal and high dielectric materials. Furthermore, the proposed design is suitable for platform-tolerant applications because it can work properly on general tagged objects such as metal, glass, and wood. Mounted on 200x200 mm2 metal plate, the proposed tag covers whole US RFID band and a maximum read range of 9.5 m at 910 MHz.
