Gerhard Kaineder and Erwin Schimbäck from the LCM show how to measure the equivalent circuit parameters of a printed circuit coil for RFID applications.

The Bode 100 is used for the determination of equivalent circuit parameters. The Smith-Chart is used to design a matching network.

The coil is designed for use as a 13.56 MHz RFID reader antenna. To connect the antenna to the RFID system, the antenna impedance is matched to 50 Ω..
