Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is increasingly adopted in many contexts where tags customized for specific applications are needed.

In this work two innovative prototyping techniques suitable for built-in-lab flexible tags based on are presented. The former is based on the joint use of solid ink printers and flexible PCBs, the latter consists of using a cutting plotter on adhesive copper.

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is increasingly adopted in many contexts where tags customized for specific applications are needed. Nevertheless, in many practical cases, electromagnetic labs which realize RFID tags use either very rudimentary methods, by shaping the tag antenna on a copper film through a handy cutter, or photolithography methods based on rigid PCB. In this work two innovative prototyping techniques suitable for built-in-lab flexible tags based on are presented. The former is based on the joint use of solid ink printers and flexible PCBs, the latter consists of using a cutting plotter on adhesive copper. A rigorous electromagnetic validation is then proposed, demonstrating the appropriateness of the proposed solutions.
