Small Epidermal UHF RFID Loop Antenna for Passive Oral Cavity Control Applications and Patient Health Monitoring

This paper introduces small loop type antennas and their potential for use in UHF RFID far-field applications. They are typically known as ‘magnetic loops’ and an established antenna for HF applications. Here we evaluate their potential for use, both by simulation and measurement in the challenging environment of the oral cavity for patient health monitoring and assistive technologies
