title = "A heuristically designed high-frequency RFID antenna head for use within libraries",
abstract = "High-frequency RFID credentials placed within library books are often difficult to read due to the orientation of the credential with respect to the desired reading plane. A number of commercial offerings employ thin RFID antennas that can be inserted between shelved books in order to interrogate the RFID credentials. Although this solution works, it has a number of drawbacks. Firstly, it requires repetitive operation by a human operator. Secondly, the thin antennas are prone to breakage. This paper proposes an antenna topology that is capable of interrogating credentials in an orthogonal manner. This paper investigates this topology and assesses its performance characteristics. It also addresses antenna sizing from a heuristic perspective.",
