Abstract

The antenna and feed networks are presented for reader applications of radio frequency identification at ultra high frequency of 840 MHz - 845 MHz and 920 MHz - 925 MHz that is allocated for RFID use in China. The antenna is composed of two dual-L antennas orthogonally placed on a ground plane. The feed networks which are used to attain circular polarization characteristics of the antenna are introduced to control horizontal and vertical radiation current flows for each dual-L antenna respectively. The antenna can also be applied to ultra high frequency of 860 MHz - 960 MHz that is proposed for RFID use by ISO/IEC. The simulation and measurement were performed and the desired frequency bands with a return loss less than -10 dB were achieved.
