Abstract

Amidst the rapid expansion of e-commerce and the consequential surge in industries such as transportation, logistics, and supply chain management, there has been remarkable growth. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, along with its associated tags, plays a pivotal role in the transmission and tracking of crucial information within these sectors. However, the presence of metallic components within RFID systems poses a significant obstacle to efficient antenna transmission. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of RFID tag antennas endowed with metal-resistant properties. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of existing designs and structures for metal-resistant RFID tag antennas, providing valuable insights into their prospective developmental trajectories and potential applications. Such analysis serves as a pertinent reference for research and engineering endeavors across related domains.
