Compact Design of Circularly Polarized Antenna with Vertical Slotted Ground for RFID Reader Application

摘要

A novel compact circular polarization (CP) microstrip antenna is proposed for UHF ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. The proposed antenna is composed of a corner truncated square-ring radiating patch on a substrate and a vertical slotted ground surrounding four sides of the antenna. A new feeding scheme is designed from flexible impedance matching techniques. The impedance bandwidths for S_(11) < -10 dB and 3dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth are 12.1% (794.5-896.5 MHz) and 2.5% (833.5-854.5 MHz), respectively.
