This paper presents a miniature monopole reader antenna for tri-band radio frequency identification (RFID) portable devices. The proposed antenna operates at the main RFID frequencies and can alleviate and compensate for the shortcomings of a single-band antenna. An additional rectangular stub couples with the bent monopole antenna, allowing the latter to resonate at the RFID bands at 902–928 MHz, 2.4–2.48 GHz, and 5.725–5.875 GHz. By bending the feedline, the dimensions of the miniature antenna are reduced to 115.5 × 20 × 1.6 mm3, facilitating its integration into portable devices. The measured bandwidths(return loss < −10 dB) of the proposed antenna are 677, 580, and 250 MHz in the three operating bands, 883–1560 MHz, 2.31–2.89 GHz, and 5.65–5.9 GHz, respectively, with high-gain characteristics. An experimental study of a fabricated prototype of the optimized antenna is performed, and the results verify its good performance.

A novel antenna/Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) combination usable in dual-band Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags over metallic objects is presented. A compact and low thickness prototype is manufactured and characterized in terms of return loss and radiation properties in an anechoic chamber both alone and on a metallic plate. The performance exhibited by the presented antenna/AMC prototype is proper for RFID tags on both metallic and nonmetallic objects.

In this paper, a dual-band dipole antenna for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag application at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz is designed and optimized using HFSS 13. The proposed antenna is composed of a bent microstrip patch and a coupled rectangular microstrip patch. The optimal results of this antenna are obtained by sweeping antenna parameters. Its return losses reach to -18.7732 dB and -18.2514 dB at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The bandwidths (Return loss <=-10 dB) are 2.42~2.50 GHz and 5.77~5.82 GHz. And the relative bandwidths are 3.3% and 0.9%. It shows good impedance, gain, and radiation characteristics for both bands of interest. Besides, the input impedance of the proposed antenna may be tuned flexibly to conjugate-match to that of the IC chip.

In this paper, a new compact coplanar antenna used for Radio frequency identification (FID) applications is presented. This antenna is operated at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz. The proposed antenna is designed on an epoxy substrate material type (FR-4) with small size of (40 × 28) mm2 in which the dielectric thickness (ℎ) of 1.6 mm, relative permittivity (er) of 4.3 and tangent loss of 0.025. In this design the return loss is less than −10 dB in the frequency interval (2.12 − 2.84) GHz and the minimum value of return loss is -32 dB at resonant frequency. The maximum gain of the proposed antenna is 1.22 dB and the maximum directivity obtained is 2.27 dB. The patch and the ground plane of the proposed antenna are in the same surface. The proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth and omnidirectional radiation pattern with small size. The overall size of the compact antenna is (40 × 28 × 1.635) mm3. The Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio software is used for simulation and gets layout design.

Design procedure of a high gain dual-band printed monopole antenna, resonating at 2.4 GHz and 5.5 GHz, is presented. The proposed design meets the specifications required by WI-FI, WIMAX and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. Our design utilizes Rogers RT/Duroid 5880(tm) substrate, and the major radiation element is an annular circular patch shape. The design was improved by adding a face-to-face fork shape metal inside the annular circular patch. The antenna feed consists of a microstrip line and a slotted transformer section for matching purpose. A prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and the measurements of the return loss and antenna radiation pattern were performed. The comparison between the results obtained from the simulation and the measurements showed an excellent agreement.
