TY  - JOUR
AB  - High-frequency near-field communication is an inherently short-range technology. However, the total capture volume can be increased with traveling-wave antennas. Here, we report on analysis, design, and measurements of flexible waveguide antennas and discuss their performance for near-field communication and localization. The antennas comprise sections of coaxial transmission lines loaded periodically with field-generating inductive networks. Several topologies were compared to each other theoretically and the best-performing candidate was selected to fabricate antennas between 5 and 48 meters long, each containing 15 read nodes. Waveguiding properties of the antennas were measured and agreement with theory was demonstrated. Afterwards, each antenna was integrated with a custom NFC reader and shown to be capable of near-field communication with and localization of commercial off-the-shelf transponders compliant with ISO 14443 Type A protocol. The transverse detection range was 10 cm with 1 W input RF power. Both one-dimensional and quasi two-dimensional configurations were tested. The proposed antennas are flexible, scalable, have low loss, and could be used for near-field communication, identification, and tracking of distributed and mobile tags.
