The Need

Current passive UHF RFID systems falter in environments with fluctuating pressure, stress, and temperature due to their sensitivity to antenna deformation caused by changes in dielectric constant. A pressing need exists for stretchable RFID devices capable of operating seamlessly in diverse conditions, providing reliable inventory tracking and item identification.

The Technology

Our stretchable RFID devices feature a flexible design with a broad impedance bandwidth. Consisting of an RFID chip and antenna, the device ensures electrical and mechanical stability even in dynamic environments. The RFID antenna incorporates end-loading bodies that surround orifices, allowing stretchability without compromising the device's performance.
