Summary:
Systems based on radio frequency identification (RFID) techniques are finding new markets and uses. For maximal readability, RFID-systems have to be tailored to its specific environment. In this paper, the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method is used to analyze an RFID-system with reader, tag, and additional electronic circuitry. The results show how the method can be used to match antennas with discrete, external components and study the backscattered energy from the tag. The simulations are very fast which allows for studying multiple locations of the tag in order to tailor the RFID-system.
