Abstract

This paper demonstrates the use of inkjet printing as a digital fabrication tool for the cost effective manufacture of radio frequency identification (RFID tags on low-cost flexible and porous substrates. The design presented in this work is a thin, substrate tolerant UHF RFID tag that can be mounted directly onto the skin surface in the form of a transfer patch in the same way that a temporary tattoo is applied.
