Abstract

In this paper, an overview of novel design and integration approaches for improved performance UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags with embedded power source and sensing capability is presented. Ultra-low-cost organic substrates, such as paper, with inkjet-printing capability are investigated for the UHF frequency band. The proposed technology could potentially revolutionize sensor nodes and RFID tags for various applications such as security, logistics, automotive and pharmaceutical.
