Abstract
研究方向
The readability of near-field RFID tags is less dependent on the material of the product, the storage method of the product,
the characteristics of the tag and the quality of the reader. However, near-field RFID label fabricated tags usually do not
work attached to metal because there are eddy currents on the metallic surface. Many tags attached to metal are not
flexible and are expensive in cost. In the project, tags with the SRR (Split Ring Resonator) antennas are developed. It is
possible to use the tags with the SRR antennas on the metal to enhance the effective magnetic permeability.

Near-field RFID label fabricated tags usually do not work attached to metal
because there are eddy currents on the metallic surface. In the project, tags
with the SRR (Split Ring Resonator) antennas are developed. It is possible
to use the tags with the SRR antennas on the metal to enhance the effective
magnetic permeability. Experiment measuring reading distance 35 cm. A
3D-FEM code (Ansoft HFSS) is applied to analyze the characteristics of the
patch antenna in this study. The code is provided by the National Center for
High-Performance Computing (NCHC). This project is financially
sponsored by National Science Council (grand no. NSC 97-2622-E218006-CC3).
