Abstract
Chipless RFID tags require a significant amount of spectrum in order to encode their data. Hence, ultra wideband antennas seem like the obvious solution as the antenna of choice for the chipless RFID tag. The theory of operation and parametric study of circular disc monopole antennas printed on dielectric laminates is presented. Finally, an optimized monopole antenna for operating in the UWB spectrum is presented. The RFID reader antennas are also presented. The RFID reader requires a high gain antenna; hence, log periodic dipole antenna arrays on Taconic laminate are designed. The LPDA exhibits high gain, a directive radiation pattern and wide-operating bandwidth.
