Abstract :
In this contribution we design, implement and characterise a novel low-profile dual-band loop antenna suitable for advanced tyre monitoring systems by measurements. The antenna is omnidirectional in azimuth, vertically polarised and suited for the European UHF and microwave RFID bands. Our proposed antenna is compared to a modified monopole antenna, which is in resonance at the same bands. Both antennas were manufactured and afterwards measured in an anechoic chamber. Directional patterns and measured antenna efficiencies are presented.
