Abstract :
The paper reports a new integrated antenna system for a 5.8 GHz radio frequency identification (RFID) tag proposed for predicting the pipe´s lifetime and to provide inventory control. Powering for the tag´s electronics is obtained by using rectifying circuits that convert microwave energy into DC energy. The tag requires a minimal incident power density of 13.5 mW/cm/sup 2/ to establish a link and transmit 64-bit coded information to the interrogating reader.
