▎ 摘  要

An antenna made of a graphene-based film with organic polyimide precursor of high conductivity 1.1 x 10(6) S m(-1) and thickness 30 mu m, operating in the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band for radio frequency identification applications is presented in this article. The antenna is optimized to have a conjugate match to the impedance of the chip by tuning the design parameters. Tags are fabricated and tested using the designed antenna, which are shown to have realized gain above -1.5 dBi and radiation efficiency beyond 90% in the whole UHF band from 860 to 960 MHz. The read range of proposed tag is greater than 12.3 m over the entire UHF band with a maximum value of 14 m at 920 MHz. In addition, the flexibility of the tags is demonstrated. After 2000 cycles of bending and stretching, the read range only decreases by 4.5 m comparing to the initial state at 915 MHz.
