Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a compact monopole antenna for radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The proposed antenna is a dual band structure that can operate in the frequency ranges [0.797–1.004 GHz] and [2.234–2.934 GHz]. Consequently, the antenna covers widely the two UHF bands dedicated for RFID applications which are [0.860–0.960 GHz] and [2.380–2.520 GHz]. Moreover, the antenna is compact and its wide band nature makes it suitable for several applications other than RFID (GSM, UMTS, Wi‐Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). The proposed antenna has been fabricated and its reflection coefficient measured where a good agreement is observed with the simulated results.
