Abstract
A novel broadband antenna for ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) near-field radio frequency identification (RFID) applications is presented. The antenna is composed of a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW), a coplanar stripline (CPS), a lumped balun, multiple resistors, and a finite-sized ground plane. The load impedance is equal to the characteristic impedance of the CPS, hence traveling wave can transmit along the CPS. The proposed antenna structure can produce large currents along the CPS so that a strong and uniform magnetic field distribution is excited in the adjacent region around the antenna. The antenna geometry, design concept, simulated, and measured results are carefully discussed throughout the paper. Measurements show that the antenna operating with a commercial reader demonstrates good performance of tag identification with inductive coupling for near-field RFID applications. In addition, the parametric study is conducted to facilitate the design and optimization processes for engineers.
