A Circularly Polarized Compact Antenna for UHF Band RFID Reader
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 42, 119-127, 2013
Abstract
This paper presents a circularly polarized compact antenna based on the concept of Yagi-Uda antenna. By properly arranging three ring resonators operating at the fundamental mode, a compact Yagi-Uda like antenna is proposed to form directional pattern. This proposed antenna has comparable size with the ring resonator of quarter-wavelength, while the performances are comparable with the conventional microstrip antenna of half-wavelength. To validate the proposed design methodology, an antenna working at UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) band is benchmarked. Both simulated and measured results are shown for comparison.
