Abstract :
A dual-band HF and UHF RFID tag antenna with two feeding points is presented, fabricated and measured. A convenient HF resonance is obtained with an HF ASIC chip as well as good impedance matching with UHF ASIC chip in the European RFID UHF band. Tuning techniques of the design parameters are proposed, and tag performance in both frequency bands is evaluated.
