Abstract :
A dual-band antenna is developed on a flexible Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) substrate for simultaneous operation at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz in high frequency Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems. The response of the low profile double T-shaped slot antenna is preserved when the antenna is placed on platforms such as wood and cardboard, and when bent to conform to a cylindrical plastic box. Furthermore, experiments show that the antenna is still operational when placed at a distance of around 5cm from a metallic surface.
