Application Note: Modeling An RFID Tag Antenna With MicroStripes

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is one of the fastest growing sectors of today's radio technology industry. The number of companies involved in the development and sale of RFID systems is constantly increasing. An important element of the RFID system is the tag or antenna. Based on the ACIS solid modeling kernel, MicroStripes' build tool allows arbitrary shaped antenna structures to be easily created. Then, the return loss and radiation pattern can be accurately predicted.
