Abstract :
Development of a low-profile and conformal RFID tag antenna with an omnidirectional radiation pattern when mounted on a water bottle is presented. The antenna design and design parameters uncertainty are quantified using numerical simulations. The simulation-based antenna design is verified experimentally for single and multiple tagged bottles configurations.
