Abstract
In this chapter, some aspects regarding the performance limitations of passive UHF-RFID tags are briefly discussed. In particular, the maximum read range is explored in case the condition of size reduction, usually applied to the general-purpose commercial UHF-RFID tag design, is relaxed. In fact, whereas for many applications a tradeoff between tag dimensions and performance is necessary, there exist some applications where the read range optimization is a due, even at the expense of the tag dimensions. Such applications may include, for instance, inventory of boxes in a large warehouse, and pallet tagging, among others.
