Abstract

A micro-strip patch antenna for a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag which can operate in the ultra high frequency (UHF) range from 865 MHz to 867 MHz is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is designed and suitable for tagging the metallic boxes in the UK and Europe warehouse environment. The design is supplemented with the simulation results. In addition, the effect of the antenna substrate thickness and the ground plane on the performance of the proposed antenna is also investigated. The study shows that there is little affect by the antenna substrate thickness on the performance.
