Abstract :
Presented is a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna designed to fit around the neck of a small gas cylinder and capable of operation at the European and American UHF RFID bands. The design is readable from all directions in the plane of the cylinder neck and is mounted on cheap synthetic rubber (neoprene) of thickness 2 mm with dimensions of 125 20 mm. The tag antenna was conjugally matched to the complex impedance of the transponder IC chip.
