Abstract :
This paper addresses the antennas design for passive UHF RFID applications involving the human body as the object to be tagged. Novel antenna geometry is proposed for conjugate impedance matching to the complex impedance of the RFID transponder. The proposed tag is capable of achieving high read range directly attached to a human thorax or in free space.
