Abstract: Existing two-dimensional RFID tag antennas are orientation limited and material sensitive. This paper presents the novel designs of two three-dimensional tag antennas, the Albano-Dipole antenna and the Albano-Patch antenna and evaluates their performances in static and dynamic environments, examining specifically orientation and material sensitivity.

Keywords: radio frequency identification; RFID tag antennas; ultra-high frequency; UHF; antenna design; supply chain management; SCM; performance evaluation; Albano tag; simulation.
