Abstract: To study the optimized design of slot antenna for RFID tags, attention is paid to optimize design of the slot antenna using artificial neural networks (ANN). Shortcomings of traditional design method with one dimension geometrical parameter for tag antenna have been avoided. The design is consistent with that of IE3D simulation which is based on the method of moment (MOM). A slot antenna for tag is fabricated, and the reading distance is measured with the compatible reader, showing that the slot antenna can meet the requirement of UHF tag.
