Abstract :
A laboratory-fabrication of embroidered antennas for ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags is presented. The embroidered antenna patterns are formed from conductive thread using software controlled embroidery machine. Measurements of fully assembled embroidered UHF RFID tag verify that competitive tag performance can be achieved with the presented fabrication method.
