The document describes the design of a planar inverted multiband slotted patch antenna for RFID applications. Some key points:
- The antenna was designed to operate in the UWB frequency range to avoid metal-water problems and enable low-profile and high data rate operation.
- Design calculations were shown for parameters like width, length, effective dielectric constant. Specifications included a reinforced fiber-glass substrate with epsilon-r of 4.6.
- The prototype antenna had dimensions of 15x12x1.6 mm and experimental results showed improved data rate of 86%, size reduced by 50%, and power consumption reduced by 38% compared to existing designs.

- Enhance the reading range with suitable
operating frequency
- Flexibility
3. PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE OF RFID
• Barcode
• Optical Character Recognition
• Biometric
• Smart Card
• RFID
Man power needed
No need of Man power
4. FEATURES OF RFID
• Non-Line-of-Sight
• Multiple RW
• Reliability in reading
• Environmental Susceptibility/Durability
• Difficult to Replicate
• Access Security
• Read Range
• Memory Size/Data Storage
5. APPLICATIONS
• Asset Tracking
• Book access in Library
• Healthcare
• Toll Road
• Boarding Baggage
• Manufacturing automation
• Logistics and distribution
• Retail shops
• Product security
6. EXISTING LIMITATIONS OF RFID
• Lack of accuracy
• The costs of developing RFID is costlier than
barcodes
• A lack of global standards and regulations
7. SPECTRUM FOR RFID
APPLICATION
• Low Frequencies (LF)—125–134 kHz
• High Frequency (HF)—13.56 MHz
• Ultra High Frequency (UHF)—860–960 MHZ
– Inductive coupling and back scattering problems occurs in
above frequency ranges
• Microwave—ISM band (range from 6.765 MHz to
246 GHz)
• 2.45 GHz free band is fully utilized for many wireless
applications
9. Designation Frequency Passive Read Distance
Low Frequency (LF) 120-140 KHz
10-20 cm
High Frequency (HF) 13.56 MHz
10-20 cm
Ultra-High Frequency
(UHF)
868-928 MHz
3 meters
Microwave 2.45 & 5.8 GHz 3 meters
Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) 3.1-15.78 GHz 10 meters
10. EXISTING SYSTEM
• Design an RFID antenna in UHF range
• Multiple tag reading is not possible
• RFID suffered from metal-water problem
• Reading rate slower
• Passive tag costlier and complex
• Size of the antenna is big
11. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• Design an RFID antenna in UWB range
– Resistance to metal-water problem
– Low-profile and high data rate
– Immune to EMI
– Prosperous suit to active tag as well
• Reduction in the antenna size
13. SPECIFICATION OF ANTENNA
Substrate Material used Reinforced Fiber-Glass Polymer Resin Material
With dielectric constant of 4.6
Radiation Pattern Omni-Directional
Feeding method 50-Ωmicrostrip feed line
19. CONCLUSION
• Designed UWB antenna has
– Improved data rate of 86% approximately
– Size reduced to 50% approximately
– Power consumption 38%
• Hence flexible implementation for RF application is
possible.
