Abstract
The novel idea of integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with sensors along with other wireless applications by using single tag antenna is implemented, by fabricating proposed antenna using state-of-the-art inkjet printing technology on commercially available paper substrates. For the first time, a parametric analysis is performed for realization of the planar log-spiral antenna on paper for operational range from 0.8 to 3.0 GHz, which also exhibits excellent coverage throughout numerous RFID Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands, and for other wireless applications. The ANSYS HFSSTM tool is used to design and predict the performance of the proposed antenna in terms of radiation pattern and input impedance.
