Abstract:

In order to ensure the high-frequency(HF) Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) in metal environment,the effect of metal plate on the performance of HF RFID system is first simulated by means of HFSS9.0,and the operation of middle-range HF RFID system in metal environment is numerically simulated and analyzed.Then,the distribution characteristics of the magnetic field of reader antenna are provided,and two solutions to the metal plate effect respectively based on the ferrite absorber and on the dimensional tag are discussed.Finally,the concept of omnidirectional tag is presented.The above-mentioned results are proved feasible in the design of tags used in metal environment.

Key words: radio frequency identification, metal, ferrite, dimensional tag, omnidirectional tag
