Organic RFID Tags

Organic RFID tags are increasingly gaining credibility as a possible low-cost barcode replacement for product identification. This will only happen if organic RFID tags can operate in the frequency range defined by well-accepted EPC standards. This chapter evaluates the performance of existing organic RFID demonstrators and confirms that, based on lab scale demonstration of organic RFID tags, performance comparable to the EPC standards can be obtained. Moreover, the integration of sensors with the tags will enable added functionality and applications beyond pure identification.
