UHF RFID Antennas - V - Tag dipole antennas

In the first post of this blog, I pointed out to this video about a guy discovering the wonders of UHF RFID and proposing to build his own antenna. Unfortunately for me, I discovered he knows little to nothing about antennas, and his demand has been fully about trying to replicate an already made design. That's unfortunate for me, but doesn't mean the video isn't good. On the opposite, it is splendid and extremely educational. I knew all about the stuff he was talking about, and I still found it very entertaining and learned one or two other things in the process.   But then I decided I could actually write a post about designing a UHF RFID tag antenna.  So here it is! Now, there's hundreds of references on the topic, you just search on IEEExplore and you'll see (you'll find even more if you go through Google). Even commercially, there's dozens of RFID tag antenna designs. These have been developed to answer different kinds o...
