Printed Antenna on Flexible Low-cost Pet Substrate for Uhf Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a flexible antenna, printed on a low-cost Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET) substrate for UHF applications. The RF characteristics of the PET substrate are examined using a microstrip resonator to characterize the substrate’s relative permittivity and the loss tangent at UHF band. The PET substrate is used to print an antenna designed to work in the 868 ISMBand. The printing process described is carried out using a semiindustrial roll-to-roll (R2R) machine with mass production capability. The fabricated dipole antenna was mounted on cylindrical objects made from several materials such as paper and glass, and its RF characteristics were measured and discussed.

متن کاملA Compact Antenna Design for UHF RFID Applications
This paper presents a new compact end-fire antenna for ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) applications. The antenna has two meandered dipole drivers. A folded reflector and a rectangular reflector are demonstrated. The advantage of the end-fire antenna with meander dipole drivers compared to the conventional quasi-Yagi antenna is a reduction in the length of the dr...
