Abstract :
The activity to which the present work belongs aims at the realization of an RFID-based indoor localization system utilizing ink-jet printing on organic substrate. A person, moving within a building, is localized and tracked by using an RFID system consisting of a nomadic reader interrogating an array of passive tags embedded in the floor tiles. The project described in this paper will be focused on the RFID tag development, and mostly on the antenna design and the relevant environmental influence on the antenna radiating characteristics and performances.
