A Reliable Approach for Evaluating the Platform Tolerance of RFID Tag AntennasAbstract
This paper describes a novel approach for evaluating the performance of an RFID tag on the basis of the simulation of its input impedance. A systematic and reliable approach to compute the impedance is presented and the platform tolerance characteristics of two tags are investigated on the basis of the variations of their input impedances.
