A new ultrahigh frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) reader’s front-end circuit which is based on zero-IF, single antenna structure and composed of discrete components has been designed. The proposed design brings a significant improvement of the reading performance by adopting a carrier leakage suppression (CLS) circuit instead of a circulator which is utilized by most of the conventional RF front-end circuit. Experimental results show that the proposed design improves both the sensitivity and detection range compared to the conventional designs.

This study presents a novel compact circularly polarized antenna for universal ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) handheld reader applications. The antenna is composed of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) L-shaped feedline mounted at the right edge of the square slot at the bottom of the ground plane to realize a circular polarization; a horizontal stub protruded from the right side of the square slot towards the slot centre, and a vertical stub is mounted at the lower left of the square slot. The designed antenna printed on one ground plane layer of a low-cost FR4 substrate with an overall size of 120×120×1.6 mm3. The measurement results show indicate that the fabricated antenna achieves a wide axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 460 MHz (818–1278 MHz), wide impedance bandwidth of 54.6% (630–1103 MHz), and a measured peak gain of 4.0 dBi. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for compact universal UHF RFID handheld reader applications (840–960 MHz).

A unidirectional dual-band coplanar waveguide fed antenna (DB-CPWFA) loaded with a reflector is presented in this paper. The reflector is made of an electric ground plane, a dielectric substrate, and artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) which shows an effective dual operational bandwidth. Then, the closely spaced AMC reflector is employed under the DB-DPWFA for performance improvement including unidirectional radiation, low profile, gain enhancement, and higher front-to-back (F/B) ratio. The final antenna design exhibits an 8% and 13% impedance bandwidths for 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency regions, respectively. The overall gain enhancement of about 4 dB is achieved. The F/B ratio is approximate to 20 dB with a 16 dB improvement. The measured results are inconsistent with the numerical values. The presented design is a suitable candidate for radio frequency identification (RFID) reader application.

Wireless communication plays a major role in technology transformation into new dimensions where it require most efficient transreceivers which are basically known as antennas for establishing communication between nodes to node.There are different types of antennas used for regenerating different frequencies for different applications. In satellite communication, in air and space crafts or in missile applications where mass, heaviness, volume,budget, performance etc. are the main requirements to design antennas. Such requirements are fulfilled by the Microstrip Antennas . Microstrip Antennas are designed to meet these specifications and hence are widely used in many applications such as global system for mobile communication (GSM), the global positioning system (GPS), personal communication,etc.. A compact microstrip feed with triple band circular monopole antenna which can operate frequencies ranging over GSM (1.78 to 1.82GHz),Bluetooth (2.4 to2.48GHz) and Ultra wideband (UWB:3.10 to 10.6GHz) bands are designed and investigated for wireless applications.By a generalized circular radiating monopole with destructive ground plane,the UWB frequency operation is achieved. Further proceedings, the central part of the radiating antenna is removed by slotting it and then etching a half wavelength circular arc from the radiating patch antenna to achieve a dual band frequency operation over Bluetooth and UWB.The triple band frequency operation is realized by embedding quarter wavelength parasitic element/strip resonating at 1.8GHz placed at the slotted central position in the radiating patch antenna.In this project triple band circular monopole antenna is designed and simulated using electromagnetic simulation software HFSS(15.0).The implementation of the proposed antenna is done on FR4 dielectric substrate having a dielectric constant of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. The antenna covers the three bands of operation with reflective coefficient <-10dB.The antenna also exhibits stable radiation patterns for entire UWB. As a result,integrated lower frequency bands are achieved.

Abstract In this paper, a low-cost, flexible, ultrathin absorber comprising a simple square patch-shaped frequency selective surface (FSS) is proposed for wearable applications. The FSS based absorbing structure contains periodic graphite patch pattern placed on a thin paper substrate, and backed with a copper foil-based ground plane. The dimension and periodicity of the unit cell are 0.31λo and 0.36λo respectively, while the thickness of the absorber is approximately λo/85, where λo is the wavelength of free space at 10 GHz. The characteristics of the FSS absorber is optimized in terms of unit cell periodicity, and dielectric substrate height using a full-wave high frequency structure simulator software (HFSS). The effects of the parameters are also examined using equivalent circuit approach. The proposed absorber shows insensitivity towards the angle of incidence as well as angle of polarization. Finally, a prototype model is fabricated, measured, and validated with simulation results. A good agreement is depicted between simulated and experimental models. The proposed absorber finds application in the field of wearable electronics, medical, and automotive applications for effective mitigation of the EMI.

In this research work, a novel compact antenna with rectangular slots is presented for radio frequency identification (RFID) handled applications in the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band that can be manufactured and integrated into RFID readers without difficult. A prototype demonstrating the aforementioned features was constructed and measured. The proposed antenna is fed by 50-Ω coaxial cable and printed on a 1.6mm thick FR4 substrate which has a small size and occupies a volume of 68×66 ×1.6mm3. The patch, the feed-line and ground plane are made of PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) with a thickness of 0.035 mm. Measured results indicate that the proposed antenna has a good impedance matching characteristic ranging from 889 to 939MHz, which covers the USA RFID-band (902–928MHz), the Chinese RFID-operating-band (920–924.5MHz), and the Korea and Japan RFID-band (917–923.5MHz). These results were achieved by the insertion of slots in the compact structure of the antenna. The electromagnetic simulators HFSS (High Frequency structure simulator) and CST (Computer Simulation Technology) microwave studio were used for the design, modeling and simulation of the antenna. The focus of the study of our antenna was on the parameters of return loss, bandwidth, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), input impedance and gain.

Microstrip patch antennas are attractive for communication applications due to their small size, low cost, and easy fabrication. Regardless of the diverse usage of these antennas, their bandwidth and efficiency are still limited and need to be improved. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance the bandwidth and efficiency of a microstrip antenna by inserting a slot into various patch designs. Flame Retardant (FR4) material is used in the dielectric substrate and the antenna is fed by a microstrip line. Virtually, the antenna performance is attempted to be optimized through empirical investigations of feedline lengths, slot sizes and positions, and ground plane dimensions and locations. To achieve the results, the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is used, and the paper concludes by showing that the antenna performance is enhanced by the slot, and the return loss is significantly reduced when the ground plane is moved to the front surface of the antenna.

Microstrip patch antenna is attractive for various applications due to its easy fabrication, low cost and small size. It simply comprises of a radiating patch and ground plane that are separated by a dielectric substrate. However, the resonance bandwidth of the microstrip antenna is still an issue that needs to be considered in research. This paper aims to enhance the bandwidth of a microstrip antenna or introduce more resonant frequencies within the Super High Frequency (SHF) band. The paper demonstrates empirical results for circular-shaped patch antenna using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). It begins by investigating different patch sizes and substrate materials, so that an optimal preliminary design is introduced. Then, different slot shapes are inserted into the patch for significant enhancement of the resonance characteristics. As a result, new ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna designs are presented with bandwidth results reaching 15.5 GHz within the C, X, Ku and K bands. Also, new multiband antenna designs are presented with improved reflection valleys in the Ku, K and Ka bands.

The electromagnetic (EM) imaging technique at mm-band 60 GHz is proposed for data encoding purpose in the chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The fully printable chipless RFID tag comprises tiny conductive EM polarizers to create high cross-polar radar cross-section. Synthetic aperture radar approach is applied for formation of the tag's EM-image and revealing the tag's content. The achieved high data encoding capacity of 2 bits/cm2in this technique based on a fully printable tag is very convincing for many applications. The system immunity to multipath interference, bending effect, and printing inaccuracy suggests huge potentials for low-cost item tagging. Tags are also readable through a tick paper envelop; hence secure identification is provided by the proposed technique.
