Abstract

Radiofrequency identification is currently emerging research and collectively collecting engineers to develop the comfortable systems for the users, the conception of flexible and lightweight tags stacked directly to the body. Like tattoo devices and pick up the epidermis’ physiological parameters, provide the emerging discipline known as Epidermal or Skin RFID. This paper investigates the numerical and simulated study, through HFSS and CST solvers, the conception of epidermal tag for radiofrequency identification in the UHF band. The presence of the human body provides poor communication because of the high dielectric properties of human skin. The analysis demonstrates the existence of the optimal size of meandered loop tag with the compatible substrate. The proposed transponders have high communication performances and good matching characteristics. Then we discuss the effects of on-body UHF RFID tag orientation in a typical indoor environment by using the 3D ray-tracing simulator.
