Analysis of using high-resistance RFID tag antennas for robust impedance matching

An analytical framework for evaluation of platform-tolerance of RFID tags is developed and the potential platform-tolerance achieved with high-resistance tag antennas is demonstrated. A method for transforming the predominantly capacitive and low-resistance tag chip impedance for matching with this type of antennas is also proposed.
