Abstract EN

In this paper, we propose a design of two compact and miniaturized RFID epidermal tags in the UHF band for health monitoring applications.

The two conceptions of meandered double-loop antennas with T-match configuration, namely, a double-loop antenna with meandered line in the horizontal direction and a double-loop antenna with meandered lines in two directions, are placed at very close distance from the human body.

The proposed tags are composed of bio-silicone substrate, to protect the human skin from the electromagnetic waves, and a copper conductor loaded by T-match configuration, to suit the complex impedance of the antenna to that of the chip.

We have performed numerical simulations of these conceptions of two tags using the HFSS and CST solvers.

Our results show two optimal sizes with a high communication performance, good matching features, and a large read range.

We placed afterwards these two optimized tags in an elliptical environment to test their flexibility and examine their performance on different parts of the human body.
