최근 사물에 태그를 부착하여 무선으로 사물과 주변의 정보를 감지하는 RFID 기술이 등장하여 IT시장을 선도할 기술로 주목받고 있다. 그 중 국내에서 아마추어용으로 사용되던 433MHz대역이 컨테이너용 RFID 대역으로 지정되면서 국내에서도 활발히 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 부산항에서 시범 운영하고 있으며 향후 확대 운영할 계획에 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이론을 적용하여 433MHz대역의 RFID 태그 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 프랙탈 이론 중 민코스키 곡선을 응용하였고, 중심에 미앤더를 둔 구조로 설계하였다. 또한 접지면을 안테나와 같은 면에 구조로 최종 설계하였다.

This paper presents an UHF(Ultra High Frequency) band small cavity structured RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna with a long reading range, designed to apply on metal cart or pallet for auto-parts logistics. The size of tag antennas is $140{\times}60{\times}10mm^3$, attached on a exporting metal cart, and it can give the information of inventory and logistics of carts. By collecting the exported carts and increasing the recovery rate of missing carts or pallets, the paid import tax can be refunded when the carts are returned back to the manufacture. The tag antenna was equipped with a cover to prevent damage, and the dielectric constant of the cover is considered for the simulation. The reading range of the tag antenna is 12 m using LP(Linear Polarization), 10 m with CP(Circular Polarization) reader antennas. This 920 MHz UHF RFID cavity tag ensures the long reading distance of the antenna regardless of the material of the object where it is attached.

This paper presents a design of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna which is available for a vehicle's side mirror and directivity characteristics by mr body. The proposed Tag antenna is designed symmetrical structure to improve the broad bandwidth characteristic and the readable range. A proposed tag antenna($30\;mm{\times}24\;mm{\times}1\;mm$) has resonant frequency at 910 MHz and bandwidth is 780 MHz ($540\;MHz{\sim}1320\;MHz$). The chip impedance is the 16 - $j131\;{\Omega}$ and the complex conjugate impedance of commercial chip has been used for tag antenna design. In order to evaluate effects of tag antenna for side view mirror's permittivity as well as car body(conductor), radiation pattern characteristics and readable range have been calculated and measured. The optimized position for a vehicle's RFID system has been observed in the inside of a side mirror and the calculated results show good agreement with the measured results.

This paper presents the design of high sensitive/broadband tag antenna for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in Ultra High Frequency(UHF) band. A proposed tag antenna size is $60\;mm\;{\times}\;10\;mm\;{\times}\;1\;mm$. The resonant frequency is 910MHz and bandwidth is about 900 MHz at -10 dB below. The measured return loss and directional pattern have been confirmed a good agreement with the calculation results. The read range of proposed tag antenna with chip is observed about 6.5 m and proposed tag antenna has been observed an average 0.5 m for more than read range of the commercial tag antenna.

This paper presents the design of a 920 MHz ultra-high frequency(UHF) band radio frequency identification(RFID) conductive fabric tag antenna. The resistance values of four different conductive fabrics are measured, and the conductivities of the fabrics are calculated. The fabric with the best conductivity is selected, and the best conductivity of the fabric is used to simulate the fabric tag antenna design. The fabric UHF RFID tag antenna with a T-Matching structure and name-tag size of $80{\times}40mm$ is simulated and designed. The simulated and measured results are compared, and a laundry test is performed. The reading range of the fabric tag antenna is about 2 m. This fabric tag can be easily applied to an entrance control system as it can be attached to other fabrics and cloths.

A circular UHF RFID tag has been designed. This circular tag antenna can be optimized simply by controling two parameters, outer radius and inner radius of the tag antenna. The resistance and resistance values of the tag antenna have been researched based on the variation of inner and outer radii of the circular tag antenna. The simulation and measurement results are compared.

In this paper, a design method for a compact slot antenna for 5.8 GHz RFID band (5.725-5.875 GHz) is studied. The proposed slot antenna is size-reduced by bending both ends of the straight slot in "I"-shape, and a rectangular feed patch is located inside the slot. The effects of slot length, location of feed patch, and width and length of feed patch on the antenna performance are examined. A prototype antenna with optimized parameters for 5.8 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study. The experimental results show that the frequency band for a VSWR < 3 ranges 5.72-6.13 GHz (bandwidth 410 MHz), and it corresponds fairly well with the simulated band 5.64-5.97 GHz (bandwidth 330 MHz). The fabricated antenna shows good radiation performance such as maximum power density in both directions normal to the slot plane, low cross-polarization level of < -20 dB, and realized gain > 0 dBi within the frequency band.

A bar-code shape UHF RFID tag antenna is designed and fabricated with silver conductive ink. It can be recognize by both bar-code scanner and RFID reader. The bar-code shape is taken from a general box of a product, and the product code of the bar-code is used for the antenna design. The tag antenna is fabricated with silver conductive ink using a T-matching structure. The designed tag antenna is satisfied with bar-code system and RFID system simultaneously. The input reflection coefficient characteristics and the reading range pattern are measured. The peak reading range is about 111 cm, which is long enough.
