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.

A compact, low-profile, two-port dual-band circularly polarized (CP) stacked patch antenna for radio-frequency identification (RFID) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) readers is proposed, which employs the shared-aperture technique. The proposed antenna adopts a 1.524 mm thickness Rogers Ro4350b substrate with relative permittivity of 3.48. Two pairs of isolated ports are working at two microwave- (MW-) RFID bands (2.4–2.485 GHz and 5.725–5.875 GHz) with high port isolation of 25 dB and 30 dB, respectively. A shared metal slot layer is designed to separate two feeding structures of the lower band and upper band for port isolation enhancement as well as saving space. Corner-truncated square slot and patch configurations have been designed to obtain CP modes. In the lower and upper MW-RFID bands, the relative impedance bandwidths are 12.2% and 5.7%, and the maximum realized gains are higher than 7.3 dBic. Moreover, two-element configurations have been combined for an RFID MIMO system that occupies a dimension of 119 mm × 119 mm × 12.9 mm. The MIMO antenna performance of envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is lower than 0.03, and diversity gain is close to 10 dB.

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.
