Abstract
In this paper, a low profile UHF-RFID reader antenna with high front-to-back ratio is presented. The antenna consists of a probe-fed U-slot rectangular patch antenna loaded with a slotted AMC reflector, formed of 2 × 2 unit cells. By incorporating the AMC reflector, a compact profile height of 0.049λ (λ is the wavelength at 910 MHz) is achieved with high gain and front-to-back ratio. The proposed reader antenna is fabricated and measured. The experimental results are similar to those predicted by electromagnetic simulation and validate the proper operation of the antenna across the entire UHF-RFID band (860-960 MHz). Moreover, the realized prototype exhibits a measured realized gain and a front-to-back ratio (F/B) greater than 5 dBi and 24 dB, respectively. The proposed design offers the advantages of low profile, high gain and F/B ratio, rendering it suitable for compact RFID readers.
