All the results show that the proposed antenna can work not only in air but also on metallic objects in the North America and Europe UHF RFID band.     

RFID Tag Antenna Coupled by Shorted Microstrip Line for Metallic Surfaces

This letter presents the design of a small and low‐profile RFID tag antenna in the UHF band that can be mounted on metallic objects. The designed tag antenna, which uses a ceramic material as a substrate, consists of a radiating patch and a microstrip line with two shorting pins for a proximity‐coupled feeding structure. Using this structure, impedance matching can be simply obtained between the antenna and tag chip without a matching network. The fractional impedance bandwidth for S₁₁<3 dB and radiation efficiency are about 1.4% and 56% at 911 MHz, respectively. The read range is approximately from 5 m to 6 m when the tag antenna is mounted on a metallic surface.

Miniaturised dual-band s-shaped RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic surface

The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag, as a substitute for the existing bar cords, recognises, modifies and tracks information through microchips mountable on an antenna. Among them, the UHF (860?960 MHz) RFID band tag has commonly been used in circulation and logistics fields throughout the world because of its low production cost and its read long range. This RFID tag must be miniaturised in order to be mountable on any product, and to minimise the antenna?s performance degradation. If it is used worldwide as a common product, broadband or multiband is required. Specifically, when the antenna is mounted on conductive materials, its impedance characteristics change and bandwidth decreases. Therefore, a tag antenna is required with impedance characteristics which do not change even when it is attached to metallic materials.
