A quasi-Yagi antenna for UHF RFID Smart Glove designed to focus the field out of the worker's hand is introduced in this paper. The antenna comprises a rhombus-shaped driven element and two parasitic elements used as directors to focus the field in a required direction and increase its strength compared to other directions. The antenna is analyzed in terms of both the electric and magnetic field distribution in the near field region. A copper tape prototype is developed on a stretchable fabric, and good agreement between measured and simulated results in terms of reflection coefficient is obtained. The presented antenna is flexible and compact and easily integrable into gloves.

The antenna is analyzed in terms of both the electric and magnetic field distribution in the near field region. A copper tape prototype is developed on a stretchable fabric, and good agreement between measured and simulated results in terms of reflection coefficient is obtained.
