چکیده
Octafilar helical antenna (OFHA) is proposed for handheld ultra‐high‐frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The investigated antenna configuration consists of OFHA placed on reader device in the presence of human hand model. The antenna is designed at UHF band centered at 915 MHz. The antenna return loss, axial ratio, gain, co‐polarized and cross‐ polarized field components are calculated using the finite element method (FEM) and compared with that calculated by finite integration technique (FIT) for verification of the simulated results. A comparison between the performance of the quadrifilar helical antenna (QFHA) and the octafiliar helical antenna (OFHA) designed at 915 MHz in the presence of the reader device and human hand model is investigated. The OFHA introduces high gain, high front to back ratio, good axial ratio and omnidirectional coverage.

متن کاملUHF RFID Antenna: Printed Dipole Antenna with a CPS Matching Circuit and Inductively Coupled Feed
This paper presents simulated (WIPL‐D pro) and measured results of a UHF RFID antenna realized with a dipole matched to a CPS (Coplanar Stripline) and inductively coupled with a small rectangular loop. Such a design enables achieving and controlling high values of the inductive reactance that is necessary for obtaining good match of the antenna to an Application Specif...
متن کامل14 Circularly Polarized Slotted / Slit - Microstrip Patch Antennas
In modern wireless communication systems, small circularly polarized microstrip antennas with good performance are desirable mainly at low microwave frequencies. The radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band have gained much interest in many services [Finkenzeller2004]. The reader antenna is one of the important components in the RFID reader system and...
متن کاملNear-Field Focusing Dielectric Resonator Antenna Array for Fixed RFID Readers
The design of a NF‐ focused DRA phased array antenna is implemented for fixed RFID reader applications at 5.8 GHz. The radiated field is focused in the near‐zone of the array aperture. Numerical investigations on the radiation characteristics of the NF‐ focused array as well as uniform phase array are presented to demonstrate its feasibility for RFID real appl...
متن کاملUHF RFID Reader Antenna
This chapter addresses the various design issues, requirements, and specifications in designing reader antennas for UHF RFID applications. In a typical UHF system, the RFID reader antennas are geography specific; that is, there are different antennas for different geography, namely North America, Europe, et cetera. The discussion on the design challenges and performance expectations lead to a n...
