Computer-Aided Design of Antennas, Transmission Channels and the Optimisation of Transponder Systems

RFID transponder systems with ID and sensor functionality are used in manifold application areas. Especially, passive transponders with integrated sensors represent miniaturised and autonomous devices that can be used in industry and medical engineering. Considering these manifold usage scenarios and considering different specifications on performance and capabilities a customised dimensioning of transponder systems are needed. Therefore, efficient methods for modelling, analysing and computer-aided optimisation are helpful. That paper focuses on the introduction of these methods and the realisation in a design tool. Additionally, an example is described to show the usage and the capabilities of the tool.
