Triband Antenna Structures for RFID Systems Deploying Fractal Geometry

In this letter, two triband RFID antennas are proposed, one for the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and the other for the RFID tag. The antenna is the crucial part in designing any RFID system. The reader antenna operates at 3.6, 5.8, and 8.2 GHz. The tag antenna operating frequencies a...

Summary:In this letter, two triband RFID antennas are proposed, one for the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and the other for the RFID tag. The antenna is the crucial part in designing any RFID system. The reader antenna operates at 3.6, 5.8, and 8.2 GHz. The tag antenna operating frequencies are 3.9, 5.9, and 8.2 GHz. The applications of these frequencies are RFID for logistics management, traffic toll collection, and tagometry (telemetry using RFID), respectively. Fractal structures are employed as radiating elements for this multiband antenna.
