Abstract :
We have successfully demonstrated a new design of 2-b-7 shaped-beam antenna array with circular polarization. The proposed antenna features very good impedance bandwidth, moderate gain and good CP performance. These superior performances have made the proposed antenna configuration well suitable for passive RFID applications at ISM band.
