- Abstract
This letter proposes a novel cross-shaped structure-based parallel coupled line transformer and its application to tag antenna for 920-MHz radio frequency identification (RFID) and 5-GHzWiFi Cross-Technology Communication (CTC). This transformer can be tuned by some lumped capacitors and the equivalent transmission line length for high order harmonic matching. The WiFi is applicable for tourism crowd counting and its counting accuracy may be increased with an additional number of the virtual WiFi Access Points contributed by 5-GHz resonance of said tags attached with touristic metallic objects. To study the 5-GHz resonance of these tags the tag antenna is a square patch with a rectangular slot built with 3D acrylonitrile butadiene styrene printing material. The working frequency of the antenna is around 920 MHz, which can achieve a gain of 5.4 dBi and there is also a resonance at 5.6 GHz with a gain of -6.7 dBi. When the capacitor is tuned, the 5-GHz band of WiFi is varied from 5.2 to 5.6 GHz applicable to emerging WiFi 5 and 6 CTC applications. It is anticipated that the prototype tag provides a flexible tourism crowd counting solution using CTC in the future.
