An active RF-ID tag for container management

In this paper, the RF-ID tag for container management has been designed, fabricated and analyzed. The active RF-ID tag consists of Rx part, Tx part and planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). We suggest an active RF-ID tag for container management. Also, planar inverted-F antenna useful in metal container is suggested. We have designed the RF-ID tag using EM and circuit simulation tools. According to the measured results, the transmitting power of RF-ID tag was 10mW. The frequency deviation is /spl plusmn/ 50kHz and data rate is 27.7 kbps.
