A design of a circularly polarized planar antenna array of elliptical patches is presented. The designed prototype has been verified experimentally. Elliptical patches produce circular polarization by using a single feed only. A corporate feed network with quarter-wave transformers are used for uniform excitation of all the array elements. Primary advantages of the presented antenna array are structural simplicity, good circular polarization characteristics and no side lobes. Here, the design example is given for 2×2 elliptical patches at 2.8 GHz. Similar procedure can be extended for more number of array elements at the desired frequency of operation to cater the need of communication systems where circular polarization is essential.

A novel compact and circular polarized antenna is proposed which can be easily fabricated and embedded into RFID readers. Circular polarization characteristic of the proposed antenna is achieved by introducing a crossed branch. The modified meandering line structure gives the antenna compactness characteristic. A prototype is fabricated and measured. The results show that this circular polarized antenna with compact dimension can cover the Chinese RFID operating band from 920 MHz to 925 MHz, which make's the antenna suitable for handheld terminal application of RFID readers.

<p>This article presents a new miniature microstrip antenna in the ISM "Industrial Scientific and Medical" band, at 2.45 GHz. This microstrip antenna is designed for RFID reader system, by exploiting the fractal technique and the CPW fed; this antenna is printed on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. The validated antenna has a good matching input impedance range from 2.27 GHz to 2.68 GHz with a stable radiation pattern, a gain of 2.2 dBi, and a directivity of 1.91 dB. The total area of the final circuit is 21.22 x 32.05 mm2. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been fabricated and measured.</p>
