Abstract :
We present an Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna for RFID applications. The antenna is designed to comply with the European bandwidth requirements and to be integrated directly on the same board which is used by the UWB pulse generator. The proposed antenna has dipole-like characteristics concerning its radiation properties. Numerical results have shown good impedance matching without the need for any additional impedance matching sections, as well as good radiation properties which are suitable for UWB-RFID applications.
