  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the effects of conductor thickness on the performance of passive RFID tags fabricated using inkjet technology. Judging from the obtained results the performance of printed tags continues to increase as more conductive layers are added. However, the results show that the amount of performance improvement reduces with increase of the number of layers.
