Zusammenfassung:A directly printed antenna onto a can body using copper conductive paint and suited for Radio Frequency Identification Wireless LAN (RFID‐WLAN) tag applications is presented. The antenna unit is low‐cost and compact, provide reasonable gain, and serve prospect RFID transponders with a range of IC impedances. The antenna is fabricated with dimensions of 0.18λ × 0.20λ × 3.61e‐4λ and is relaxed from manufacturing. A design study has been carried out to assess the tuning of the characteristic impedance of the antenna. Return loss, load impedance, and radiation patterns are shown. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
