Abstract

This project presents the performance of a wearable RFID tag antenna in bend and wet conditions. The performance of the RFID tag antenna has been designed, simulated, optimized, and analyzed in CST Studio Suite. CST Studio Suite is a high-performance 3D EM analysis software. The overall project is completed in simulation analysis only. The RFID tag antenna is designed to operate at 915.2 MHz resonant frequency. Materials used to design the RFID tag antenna are felt for the substrate and Shieldit for the conductor. At the initial stage of the design, a microstrip dipole antenna was used, then followed by meandering the designed microstrip dipole antenna to reduce the size of the RFID tag antenna. A parametric study has been done to achieve the best optimized RFID tag antenna. The gain value of 2.76 dB is achieved in this design. In the end, the performance of the RFID tag antenna has been analyzed in bend and wet conditions. The RFID tag antenna performs better in bend condition than the wet condition.
