A broadband UHF RFID Tag antenna with a novel T-matching network

• In this paper, an-ultra-high frequency (UHF) passive broadband radio frequency identification (RFID) Tag Antenna with a novel T-matching network is presented. By slightly tuned the arm lengths of the T-matching network, the impedance matching between the antenna and the chip and a broad impedance bandwidth is obtained. Thanks to the bent radiating element, the size reduction of the proposed antenna is realized. The bandwidth (S11 < -20 dB) and the corresponding 3 dB PRC bandwidth of the proposed antenna are 133MHz (835-968 MHz) and 88MHz (882-970 MHz) respectively, which means that both bandwidths are wide enough to cover the whole global UHF RFID frequency band. In the simulated results, a smooth and stable gain curve between 0.04 dBi to 1.86 dBi is found throughout the entire operating frequency band, and a gain of 1.38 dBi is obtained at the desired operating frequency point (915 MHz). In conclusion, the designed antenna owns the advantages of low-profile, compact size (56×56mm2), low cost and stable gain. Based on the simple structure, the designed tag antenna can be easily manufacture and widely used in practical applications.
