Abstract
This paper presents a general outline for passive RFID backscatter transponder antenna in practical use. The read range of tag antenna is additionally investigated. Meander line dipole antenna (MLDA) has been proposed as a tag antenna due to its tiny size and greater radiation efficiency. The radiation efficiency, gain, input resistance, and loss power were investigated in accordance with the variation of material conductivity. In this letter, it was overlooked that the power loss is inversely proportional to the square root of the conductivity of the material. It is observed that the RF input power and tag received voltage are the deciding factors for making the read range maximum. The passive tag could achieve a range of 6 m by a voltage multiplier circuit with it. For example, the read range could be achieved 3 and 5 m when the voltage doubler and quadrupler circuit were used. The design and analysis of the proposed antenna have been performed utilizing simulation software FEKO.
