Possibilities of 3D direct write dispensing for textile UHF RFID tag manufacturing

We outline the possibilities of 3D direct write dispensing in the manufacturing of UHF RFID tags on textile materials and present considerations regarding the process parameters to achieve high-performance tags when the antenna is deposited directly on the rough and porous textile material. We also show that it is possible to use the dispensing to form the antenna-microchip connection using conductive ink only in order to simplify the manufacturing process. Our measurement results confirm that the manufactured textile-based RFID tags achieve high performance with the attainable read ranges of 8.5-to-11 meters in air.
