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.

A four-port dual-band dual circularly polarized (CP) stack-up patch antenna is introduced for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) RFID application. The proposed antenna adopts two FR 4 substrates and one Rogers Ro4350b substrates. Two pairs of isolated ports work at FCC UHF/MW-RFID bands (0.902–0.928 and 2.4–2.485 GHz) with port isolations of 20 dB and 25 dB, respectively. Four inverted-F radiating elements fed with a 90° phase-delay feeding network realize the CP radiation at the FCC UHF-RFID band (0.902–0.928 GHz). The corner-truncated square slot and patch are implemented to obtain CP modes at the MW-RFID band. The relative impedance bandwidths in the FCC UHF and MW band are 10.9% and 9.4%, respectively, with peak gains of 4.1 and 7.2 dBic. The antenna’s MIMO performance of envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is lower than 0.01, and diversity gain (DG) is close to 10 dB. Thanks to the stack-up configuration, the dual-band RFID antenna realizes good antenna performance with a compact size of 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.07 λ3.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a contact less technology that has multiple application in the modern era. RFID is used in passport identification at airport to match and identify the multi user .A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is used in RFID to identify the multi user simultaneously. The information is transmitted from multiple transmitter and receiver of RFID system simultaneously so there is a change of interference also if the RFID system is used in different environmental or in different height then there is chance of path loss during the signal transmission from the transmitter to receiver .Successive interference technology and optimal value of frequency with distance is maintained to minimize path loss.

This paper presents multiband circularly polarized (CP) antennas for radio frequency identification (RFID). A coax-fed and a microstrip-line-fed antennas having optimized cross-slots in their patches are first designed for dual-band CP operation. The microstrip-line-fed design is then modified, by incorporating a U-shaped slot in its partial ground plane, to achieve additional operation band with a CP characteristic. Simulation and measured results of the presented designs are reported. The measured results are in accordance with the computed ones. The compact size and CP property make these designs suitable for RFID applications.

in this paper, we propose a new multi-band patch antenna structure for embedded RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers and wireless communications. The proposed antenna is a dual band microstrip patch antenna using U-slot geometry. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are chosen as 2.4 and 0.9 (GHz), obtained by optimizing the physical dimensions of the U-slot. Several parameters have been investigated using Ansoft Designer software. The antenna is fed through a quarter wavelength transformer for impedance matching. An additional layer of alumina is added above the surface of the conductors to increase the performance of the antenna.
