Résumé

This paper reports the characterization procedure of a radiofrequency identification tag powered by meandered L-matching configuration and placed directly on the planar layered anatomical model of a human arm. The tag antenna component and its matching system interface to the RFID chip are designed with the help of electromagnetic simulators. A new optimal tag structure is combining multiconductor strips and a meandering schema used to achieve the required inductance. The folded configuration of the proposed tag adds stretchability and more reduction of the antenna size, especially when attached to the non-uniform as the human body. It is demonstrated that the tag can communicate with a reader. The simulated performances indicate the robustness of the proposed tag structure and its ability to be deployed in several healthcare sensing applications.
