Abstract
In this paper, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is designed and fabricated based on highly electrical and thermal conductive graphene films. The tag operates in the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) band, which is suitable for high-power microwave environments of at least 800 W. We designed the protection structure to avoid charge accumulation at the antenna's critical positions. In the initial state, the read range of the anti-high-power microwave graphene film tag (AMGFT) is 10.43 m at 915 MHz. During the microwave heating experiment, the aluminum tag causes a visible electric spark phenomenon, which ablates the aluminum tag and its attachment, resulting in tag failure and serious safety issues. In contrast, the AMGFT is intact, with its entire read range curve growing and returning to its initial position as its temperature steadily decreases back to room temperature. In addition, the proposed dual-frequency tag further confirms the anti-high-power microwave performance of graphene film tags and provides a multi-scenario interactive application.
