This paper presents the development of a new miniaturized and compact GCPW-fed slotted rectangular antenna structure reader for wideband UHF RFID applications. The optimized proposed antenna is suitable to operate a large frequency-band range from 0.8GHz to 1.3GHz with a bandwidth of 500MHz with a return loss less than -10dB. The antenna is based on a 1.6mm thickness FR4 epoxy substrate with a reduce dimensions compared to the simple rectangular antenna and size of proposed antenna is 47*40mm2. The new design consists of a compact rectangular patch with symmetric U-shaped slots and I-shaped include a partial ground plan and fed by 50 Grounded coplanar line. The antenna parameters have been investigated and optimized by   using   CST Microwave Studio. To validate the CST Microwave Studio results before the   antenna achievement,   we   have   conducted another study by using ADS. The   final circuit   achieved, measured and validated. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna has good radiation characteristics and operating in UHF-RFID applications.

A planer spoon shaped antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) is designed and fabricated for wireless application. The proposed antenna design exhibits 1.6GHz bandwidth, 2.20dBi Avg. Gain and maximum return loss of -24.5dB, which offers better results in wideband application.

This paper analysed the effects of bending on the performance of a textile antenna wherein the antenna under test was made of felt substrate for both industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and WBAN applications at 2.45 GHz. Moreover, the conductive material was used for the patch, and the ground plane used a 0.17 mm Shieldit textile. Meanwhile, the antenna structure was in the form of rectangular, with a line patch in between elements to abate the mutual coupling effect. The measured operating frequency range of the antenna spanned from 2.33 GHz to 2.5 GHz with a gain of 4.7 dBi at 2.45 GHz. In this paper, the antenna robustness was examined by bending the structure on different radii and degrees along both X- and Y-axis. Next, the effects on return loss, bandwidth, isolation, and radiation characteristics were analysed. This paper also discovered that the antenna’s performance remained acceptable as it was deformed, and the measured results agreed well with the simulation.

In this paper, a new ultrahigh frequency circularly polarized microstrip antenna using in RFID reader is proposed. The proposed antenna has a simple structure, it has non-symmetrical rectangular corner truncated square patch, ground plane and a probe feed. To achieve good circular polarization(CP) radiation characteristics, it uses air as the dielectric layer. Simulation results of a constructed prototype with the center operating frequency at 923 MHz showed that the antenna has a return loss S11 of about −24 dB, a gain level of about 9.48 dBi. The antenna has good impedance and radiation characteristics over the required bandwidth, 920-925 MHz (Chinese UHF RFID band).

A broadband circularly polarized stacked probe-fed antenna suitable for UHF RFID applications is presented and studied. The proposed antenna is fed by two probes which are connected to a hybrid coupler. Two parasitic patches are stacked above a primary probe-fed patch to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The optimized antenna prototype achieves gain of more than 6.5 dBic, axial ratio of less than 3.0 dB, and return loss of less than−15 dB over the UHF band of 820–980 MHz (17.7%). Parametric studies are carried out to demonstrate the effects of antenna geometry parameters on the performance. The proposed antenna can be a good candidate for UHF RFID applications.

In this article, an inkjet-printed circular-shaped monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with an inside-cut feed structure was implemented on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna was designed using ANSYS high-frequency structural simulator (HFSS), which operates at 3.04–10.70 GHz and 15.18–18 GHz (upper Ku band) with a return loss < −10 dB and a VSWR < 2. The antenna, with the dimensions of 47 mm × 25 mm × 0.135 mm, exhibited omnidirectional radiation characteristics over the entire impedance bandwidth, with an average peak gain of 3.94 dBi. The simulated antenna structure was in good agreement with the experiment’s measured results under flat and bending conditions, making it conducive for flexible and wearable Internet of things (IoT) applications.


This study conducted to compare a read range performance of microstrip patch reader antenna for UHF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. The circularly polarized reader antenna described in this study are designed to be affixed the polarization mismatch problem between reader antenna and tag antenna. Two truncated at the corner of the ordinary rectangular patch antenna is designed for UHF band (919-923 MHz) which destined for Malaysian systems.

The Search and Rescue Transponders are used to search for the lost ship and aircraft. The transponder antenna resonates at the frequency of 9 GHz. The design is considered using FR4 (Flame Retardant) substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and loss tangent 0.0019. A micro strip line fed rectangular patch antenna is designed in such a way that it resonates at 9 GHz.

Other antenna parameters such as VSWR, Radiation Efficiency, Gain 2D, Specific Absorption Rate are observed. The antenna structure is simple, flat and straightforward. The design can be embedded easily in Search and Rescue Transponder Transmitter because it is geometrically small. The simulation and analysis were done using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS).

This work presents the design and optimization of an antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) using characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to enhance bandwidth. This DGS is integrated with a rectangular patch with circular meandered rings (RPCMR) in a wearable format fully using textiles for wireless body area network (WBAN) application. For this integration process, both CMA and the method of moments (MoM) were applied using the same electromagnetic simulation software. This work characterizes and estimates the final shape and dimensions of the DGS using the CMA method, aimed at enhancing antenna bandwidth. The optimization of the dimensions and shape of the DGS is simplified, as the influence of the substrates and excitation is first excluded. This optimizes the required time and resources in the design process, in contrast to the conventional optimization approaches made using full wave “trial and error” simulations on a complete antenna structure. To validate the performance of the antenna on the body, the specific absorption rate is studied. Simulated and measured results indicate that the proposed antenna meets the requirements of wideband on-body operation.
