一種應用於塑膠棧板之RFID UHF標籤用平面迴路天線Planar loop antenna for RFID UHF tags applied to plastic pallets

本發明係涉及一種可依附於塑膠棧板以應用於RFID UHF標籤之平面迴路天線,其操作頻寬可涵蓋UHF全球頻段,在操作頻率範圍內本發明之標籤天線具有良好的讀距場型。The present invention relates to a planar loop antenna that can be attached to a plastic pallet for use in an RFID UHF tag. The operating bandwidth can cover the UHF global frequency band, and the tag antenna of the present invention has a good read range type in the operating frequency range.

RFID為「Radio Frequency Identification」的縮寫,中文可以稱為「無線射頻辨識」,它是一種非接觸式自動識別系統,乃是利用無線電波來傳送識別資料,一組射頻辨識系統由標籤(Tag)、讀取器(Reader)及電腦資訊系統所組成。一標籤基本上是由一個傳遞電磁波訊號的天線再加上能儲存資料的矽晶片,然後以玻璃或塑膠組件封裝而成。在感應範圍內的RFID標籤藉由天線感應電磁波以產生電流,供應RFID標籤上的晶片運作並透過天線發射電磁波回覆至讀取器。以驅動能量的來源來區別,RFID標籤可分為主動式及被動式兩種:被動式的標籤本身沒有電池的裝置,所需電流全靠接收來自讀取器的無線電波以電磁感應產生,所以只有在接收到讀取器發送的訊號才會被動的回應至讀取器;而主動式的標籤內置有電池,可以主動傳送訊號供讀取器讀取,訊號傳送範圍也相對的比被動式廣。目前Tag所使用的頻段有13.56MHz、900 MHz、2.4 GHz及5.8 GHz,因此Tag植入晶片的輸入阻抗也因操作頻段不同而有所差異。短距離RFID可運用在工廠自動化、貨品銷售,長距離RFID可用在收費系統或車輛身分識別。目前應用於塑膠棧板上的Tag大多是採用體積大且較窄頻寬的天線,而本款發明之平面天線具有體積小且其阻抗寬頻可涵蓋UHF全球頻段。RFID is the abbreviation of "Radio Frequency Identification". Chinese can be called "Radio Frequency Identification". It is a non-contact automatic identification system that uses radio waves to transmit identification data. A group of RFID systems is tagged. , Reader (Reader) and computer information system. A tag is basically an antenna that transmits electromagnetic signals plus a silicon wafer that can store data, and then is packaged in glass or plastic components. The RFID tag within the sensing range senses electromagnetic waves by the antenna to generate current, supplies the wafer on the RFID tag to operate and transmits electromagnetic waves through the antenna to the reader. Different from the source of driving energy, RFID tags can be divided into active and passive types: passive tags have no battery devices themselves, and the required current is generated by electromagnetic waves receiving radio waves from the reader, so only in The signal sent by the reader will be passively responded to the reader; the active tag has a built-in battery that can actively transmit signals for reading by the reader, and the signal transmission range is relatively more passive. Currently, the frequency bands used by the tag are 13.56MHz, 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz. Therefore, the input impedance of the Tag implanted wafer varies depending on the operating frequency band. Short-range RFID can be used in factory automation, sales of goods, and long-distance RFID can be used in toll collection systems or vehicle identification. Most of the tags currently used on plastic pallets use large-sized and narrow-bandwidth antennas, and the planar antenna of the present invention has a small size and a wide-bandwidth impedance covering the UHF global frequency band.
