Design and analysis of UHF RFID tag for a rubber transmission belt based on 3D electrical model

The design process for obtaining an optimized UHF RFID tag for a rubber belt based on its 3D electrical model is presented. Furthermore, the performance of the simulated and fabricated UHF RFID tag design in terms of read range was evaluated and the comparison shows a good correlation. By following the similar design process, an optimized tag antenna design for such kind of complex structures could be developed with minimum number of prototypes for different kind of RFID technology applications.
