Description	Description: Rapid developments of radiofrequency technologies have brought about a big leap in the advancement of tag antenna design. As a key part of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, tag antenna has received much attention because it can affect the system performance significantly. Since a tag is usually attached to an object, its antenna size must be made compact enough. Modern UHF RFID tag antennas are required to be compact and usable in complex environment. Designing a tag antenna involves tradeoffs between impedance matching, antenna gain, and circuit size. So, optimization is always a must. The aim of this project is to design and optimize far-field RFID tag antennas using different types of microwave resonators for some specific applications. Location: UTAR Sungai Long Campus, Malaysia. Basic Monthly Allowance: RM 3300.00 (The candidate must have a Master degree. Candidate with first class honors can apply for tuition fees waiver) Pre-requisite Degree: MEng/MSc and BEng/BSc (CGPA>3.0) in a field related to Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, Engineering, and Physics. General Requirements: • Good command of English. • Able to work with minimal supervision, self-motivated and independent. • Good track records in journal publications (an added advantage). • Highly committed. Expected Outcomes: Publications in Top ISI Journals. How to Apply: Interested candidates may submit their resumes to Associate Prof. Dr. Lim Eng Hock at limeh@utar.edu.my. Handphone: 012-6585618 Only shortlisted applicants will be notified and called for interview. Deadline: Until the position is taken.
