Fabrication of paper-based RFID tag antennas using jet printing and chemical deposition

Considering the problems of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag antennas,including high manufacturing cost and complicated process,a method for fabrication of half wave dipole antennas combining 3D micro-droplet jet printing with chemical reaction deposition was put forward.Method:a constructed double nozzle pneumatic micro-droplet ejection device was used to carry out an experimental research on micro-droplet consistency of silver nitrate and ascorbic acid produced under the required ejection conditions the impacts of substrate speed on the line forming uniformity,and conducted a test in resistivity of the formed conductor;based on this,a half wave dipole antenna was designed,simulated and fabricated,and a test was conducted in its performance parameters.The results show that micro-droplet produced by the system is in good uniformity;when substrate speed is less than or equal to 0.5 mm/s,the line forming margin of silver nitrate is relatively smooth,and conductivity of the formed conductor is 1.57 × 10-5 Ω · m;parameters of the printed half wave dipole antenna,such as the resonant frequency,resonance point return loss (S11) etc,are in good consistency with the simulation results.Hence,the test provides a low-cost method for fabrication of RFID tag antennas.
