Abstract

One of the biggest challenges for antenna designers is to design an RFID tag antenna for use on a metallic object. In this paper we present a slotted slim RFID tag antenna for metallic applications. The proposed design contains two coplanar rectangular metallic patches which are electrically connected to ground plane through conducting vias. Inductive slots are introduced on coplanar patches which are used to match tag ICs. The tag antenna was fabricated and tested in an Anechonic Chamber for its read range. Results showed that the read range of the proposed antenna is 1.1 m in absence of metallic object and 1.7 m when antenna was mounted on a 180 cm × 120 cm metallic sheet.
