Abstract

We propose a low cost, long range UHF RFID tag antenna for challenging environment surfaces like metal, glass and a human body. It consists of a nested-slot based patch on upper substrate and parasitic parallel strips on the second grounded substrate. The parasitic strips provide isolation by exciting some multi-resonant modes in the presence of metal and high dielectric materials. Furthermore, the proposed design is suitable for platform-tolerant applications because it can work properly on general tagged objects such as metal, glass, and wood. Mounted on 200×200 mm 2 metal plate, the proposed tag covers whole US RFID band and a maximum read range of 9.5 m at 910 MHz.
