Abstract

In this paper, new planar spiral antennas for passive RFID tag application at UHF band are designed and optimized using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. The optimization goals are antenna size minimization, gain maximization and conjugate matching. The antenna dimensions were optimized and evaluated using ABC in conjunction with commercial EM software. The optimization results produced show that ABC is a powerful optimization algorithm that can be efficiently applied to tag antenna design problems. RFID tags with dimensions less than 4cm, maximum gain that reaches the value of 1.83 dBi and read distance more than 10m were among those obtained by the algorithm.
