Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radio frequency identification sensing, in particular to an ultrathin flexible UHF RFID anti-metal tag.
Background
In recent years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is widely favored in the fields of manufacturing, logistics, monitoring and detection due to its wireless and passive characteristics, and currently, a product tracking function in the production and logistics processes is realized. The electronic tag in the RFID system mainly comprises an antenna layer, a medium base layer and a protective layer. Along with the increasingly complex and miniaturized structure of the object to be identified, the demand for the label to be attached to the product is increasing. The biggest problem of the electronic tag in the prior art is that the antenna layer and the chip element are attached to the rigid medium layer, so that the tag does not have a bending function and cannot meet the installation requirements of bending and large curvature, such as scenes of metal pipes, human or animal bodies and the like, and the development of the electronic tag is restricted.
Secondly, the performance of the label fluctuates greatly due to the fact that the label is located on different materials. Especially aiming at the metal environment with the widest application at present, a plurality of solutions such as folded dipoles, wave-absorbing materials, EBG/AMC structures and the like have been proposed recently. The use of these metal-resistant methods, such as special materials and antenna structures, increases the cost of the tag, which is not favorable for mass production of electronic tags.
Finally, as the performance of the tag requires complex impedance matching between the antenna and the chip, many types of antennas for adjusting impedance, such as T-type matching, embedded structures, coupled structures, etc., have emerged. However, these types are usually accompanied by the change of the use frequency of the antenna during the adjustment process, so that the adjustment process is more complicated and tedious, and the efficient implementation of the antenna design is not facilitated. Meanwhile, the change of the partial structure can also change the outline size of the label, which is not beneficial to the miniaturization of the label.
In recent years, some concepts and results of flexible metal-resistant tags have appeared, such as flexible uhf metal-resistant electronic tag of patent No. 201310269671.3; and a flexible metal-resistant UHF frequency band RFID tag with the patent number of 201320329575.9; although these efforts improve the conventional label to some extent, they still have the disadvantages of complicated structure, special material selection and high cost, and are not favorable for mass production of metal-resistant labels.
