Abstract
In this paper, we compared and analyzed the antenna characteristics such as bandwidth, efficiency, and readable range in terms of the size and the number of turns of the multiple meander RFID tag antenna in the UHF band. The sizes of the each antenna are $20.0{\times}19.7$, $25.0{\times}24.8$ and $30.0{\times}29.7\;mm^2$. The bandwidths of the antennas for VSWR<5.8 are 857~963 MHz, 844~965 MHz, and 844~968 MHz which cover the worldwide UHF RFID bandwidth. The readable range of the antenna was greatly affected by the efficiency and gain of the antenna which depends on the size and the number of turns of the meander antenna.
