  • Abstract
    Wine industry is hungry for item-level UHF RFID solutions. In this paper, a conformal UHF tag antenna directly mountable on the wine bottle neck is proposed. 360-degree readability is achieved by taking advantage of the antenna curving, and good impedance matching is realized by following a co-design approach. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate that the tag antenna provides a 10-dB bandwidth of 96 MHz, and a read range of 3~7 m around a full winebottle.
