Study and design of wristband RFID antenna for healthcare applications

摘要

The RFID technology is widely improved in the last decade. It offers different applications touching different areas. Tags could be modeled under several shapes serving the desired application; it can take a wristband form in the case of human body identification. In this paper, we present a design of an antenna implemented on the tag, with the aim to sense different physiological human parameters (temperature, blood pressure, O-2 saturation, etc.). This antenna has a bent form, suitable for the medical application. It was put on flexible substrate to be conformal to the wrist. It presents good characteristics in terms of impedance matching.
