In this article, HF RFID reader antenna including small resonant coil, operating with the magnetic coupling with the reader coil, is reported. The proposed system is used to improve surface and volume of small tag detection. The performances of such system are validated by maximization of input impedance (load modulation principle) and equivalent mutual inductance between the reader dual-coils and the tag coil compared to a conventional RFID reader antenna. Analytical formulas of theses parameters are developed. The proposed system is validated by detection measurements in parallel and perpendicular configurations between the reader and the tag coils.
