Summary on Grant Application Form |

This proposal is the first stage of a two stage programme aimed at enabling the quantitative design and subsequent production of antennas printed or otherwise applied to packages containing products. To date this process has been achieved on an ad hoc basis generally at radio frequencies or below. We intend to enable the design of small efficient microwave antennas capable of transmitting data and receiving both data and power. The key to the first stage of the design process is an understanding of the operation of the antennas in the presence of the package and its contents. We propose to enable the design by investigating the parameter space using numerical electromagnetic techniques developed by the group at York and others. This work will include numerical modelling, material parameter measurement and antenna measurements for model calibration. Our partners at Leeds will provide information on the practicability of our proposed solutions from the viewpoint of the printing process. The second stage of the work at Leeds will concentrate on this aspect with a view to refining the printing formulation and considering high speed manufacturing viability. Our proposal is the key to enhanced 'on label' processing for product storage and delivery management.
