RFID Tag Antenna Design for ARC Specs

In this paper, we explain how to design a UHF RFID tag antenna for ARC requirements, which are industry tag certification specifications. We focus on a 50 mm×30 mm tag design that passes specs A through I. We explain how to model tag performance on complicated items that are part of ARC specs (such as jeans), and present modeling and simulation results which are in good agreement with measured data.
