Abstract
Passive energy harvesting is important for many applications, one of which is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). For RFID applications the size of the tag is important, and as the chips performing the logic are small, the size of the tag is determined by the antenna. This research examinees the affects of placing multiple antennas powering multiple RFID chips in a small area. Four new designs are proposed and examined to determine antenna design performance when placed in close proximity. A new method of evaluation is proposed involving the connection of Gen 2 RFID chips as a way to eliminate wire connections needed for measurements.
