Abstract

An ultrahigh frequency RFID tag antenna with multi-infeed includes an antenna assembly, a baseboard, and a ground plane. The baseboard is located above the ground plane. The antenna assembly is electrically connected to the ground plane. The antenna assembly includes a radiated element, a number of microstrip lines, and a number of tag chips. Each of the tag chips is connected between each two microstrip lines, thereby a microstrip feed loop is formed by each of the tag chips and the each two microstrip lines.

Claims
