Abstract
RFID is a wireless technology used to identify and track objects, animals, and people. Chipless RFID tags, unlike traditional ones, don't need a microchip and instead use materials like plastic or conductive polymers to reflect a portion of the reader's signal with stored data. While traditional RFID offers benefits like long reading distances, high data capacity, and the ability to read multiple tags at once, its cost is often prohibitive for low-cost items. Chipless RFID technology addresses this by eliminating the costly microchip. Planar encoders, like the Folded Dipole with C Segment Parasitic, are being researched as chip alternatives. These antennas are designed to operate effectively within the standard frequencies used in Malaysia's RFID systems. Evaluating chipless RFID antenna performance involves analyzing their radiation patterns, which reveal how they emit and receive electromagnetic energy. Understanding these patterns is crucial for optimizing antenna design to efficiently reflect signals back to RFID readers. This optimization ensures accurate and reliable object identification and tracking, vital for chipless RFID's effectiveness. Moreover, refining radiation patterns helps mitigate interference and ensures compatibility with specific RFID frequency bands, enhancing overall system performance.
