The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2014 IEEE. In this paper, two UHF meandered line antennas have been designed, simulated, fabricated and measured. These are, the meandered antenna and the spiral antenna for RFID and WSN's applications. A MoM-based electromagnetic simulator has been utilized to simulate the designed antennas. The antennas have been fabricated and their performances have been tested in anechoic chamber for more accurate results. The results showed that the meandered antenna outperforms the spiral antenna in terms of read range values. An acceptable agreement between measured and simulated results is demonstrated. Additionally, the effect of different materials attached to the fabricated antennas were also studied and the results show that water has significant effect on the resonant frequency and the cardboard has the least.
