Miniature and near-3D omnidirectional radiation pattern RFID tag antenna design

A planar and miniature (0.09lambda times 0.13lambda) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna is described whose radiation pattern is near omni-directional in three dimensions, with less than 2.6 dB gain deviation in all directions. The antenna is comprised of an open-loop radiating element, which is excited by a small loop. The minimum and maximum read ranges of the implemented RFID tag are approximately 2.3 and 2.6 m, respectively. Comparison between the simulated and measured results for the radiation and read patterns are shown to be in good agreement.     

Circularly polarized twisted loop antenna

A novel wire-loop antenna is introduced for circular polarization. By introducing a small gap at the middle of two nonradiating sides of a one-wavelength square wire loop, a 90/spl deg/ time-phase difference between the currents on the other two radiating sides can be achieved. Then by twisting the square loop to make the radiating sides orthogonal the necessary conditions are satisfied for circularly polarized radiation. The antenna yields nearly ideally circular polarization at broadside as well as excellent input impedance properties near the design frequency. The radiation pattern has a broad beamwidth and good rotational symmetry about the axis. For a demonstrator operating at 1 GHz, a 3-dB axial ratio was maintained over /spl plusmn/30/spl deg/. The mechanism of circular polarization is analyzed based on numerical simulation. Experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical predictions made.     

Electromagnetic characteristics of superquadric wire loop antennas

The analysis of antenna configurations in the form of a generalized superquadric loop, which includes circular, elliptical and rectangular loop geometries, is presented in this paper. Use of a Galerkin form of the moment method with piecewise sinusoidal subsectional basis and testing functions provides rapid numerical convergence and accurate representation of the antenna current. A convenient parametric representation for the superquadric curve is developed to allow a subsectional formulation using curved wire segments, rather than the commonly employed piecewise linear segments, to construct the geometry. Both magnetic frill and delta gap source models are implemented to allow a detailed study of input impedance, directivity, radiation pattern and current distribution as a function of various geometrical parameters. The results are shown to compare well with previous results for the special case of a circular loop antenna. Some useful curves are presented to aid in the design of practical superquadric loop antennas     

Ultra Wideband Co-planer Microstrip Patch Antenna for Wireless Applications

In this paper, a comparative study of co-planar gap coupled rectangular and elliptical microstrip patch antenna is presented. It is analyzed by using circuit theory concept. The proposed antennas show ultra wideband operations which depend on dimensions of the patches, gap between them as well as air gap thickness. It is observed that the performance of gap coupled elliptical patch antenna is better than that of rectangular patch antenna while the area of rectangular and elliptical patches is same. The bandwidth of proposed rectangular patch antenna is found to be 50.7 % with average gain of 6.5 dBi while for elliptical patch antenna the bandwidth and gain further improves up to 57.6 % and 9.5 dBi respectively. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the simulated results obtained from IE3D simulation software.     

Development of Multi-Broadband Planar Wire Antennas for Wireless Applications

A new type of multi-broadband antennas is developed for wireless applications. The broadband performance of this type of antennas is achieved by introducing a small gap on a wire loop while the multi-band operation is realized by simultaneously exciting one or more additional wire elements. Three antenna configurations are investigated for single-, dual-, and triple-broadband operations. The dual-broadband operation is obtained by employing a combination of a loop and a monopole. The triple-broadband antenna consists of a loop, a monopole, and an inverted-L structure. It is demonstrated that the multi-broadband antennas can achieve a bandwidth of 30% in the 1GHz band, 50% in the 2 GHz band, and 40% in the 5 GHz band, which cover the frequency bands for AMPS/PCS, GSM/DCS, PDC/PHS, and IMT-2000 mobile communications as well as for 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz wireless applications.

Low Profile Miniaturized Planar Antenna With Omnidirectional Vertically Polarized Radiation

A novel miniaturized cavity-backed composite slot loop antenna (CBCSLA) with low profile and omnidirectional radiation similar to a short dipole is presented. The antenna displays vertical polarization while having less than lambda/100 dimension in height. The geometry of the antenna is inspired from a small magnetic loop which is realized using a slot configuration on metallic ground. Since a small slot loop antenna cannot be impedance matched, a composite geometry is devised that acts like as a small slot loop and can easily be impedance matched using this configuration. The diameter of the CBCSLA can be made as small as lambda/10 or smaller. The feeding mechanism is designed in a manner to create a circumferentially-constant current distribution around the composite loop while effectively matching to a 50 Omega coaxial feed from the antenna center. Additional methods are discussed to further enhance the bandwidth and achieve a dual-band response. The antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured. It is shown that despite their small lateral dimension and extremely small height, the miniaturized cavity-backed slot loop features extremely well input impedance match, uniform radiation pattern, low cross-polarization levels and expected gain.

Admittance of insulated loop antennas in a dissipative medium

A small circular loop antenna is located in an insulating layer within a dissipative medium. The admittance of the loop is calculated using a two-term trial function for the loop current in a variational formulation. Thin insulating layers tend to maintain a nearly uniform current around the small loop, in particular for highly lossy surrounding media. The assumption of a uniform loop current is shown to be justified for a range of antenna parameters.

A Source of E and H Fields for Antenna-Factor Calibration

The loop cell used for calibration is fabricated using two intersecting metal sheets joined at the intersection and forming a 360 angle. A section of a loop is mounted between two coaxial panel jacks, one on each sheet located at a distance equal to the loop radius from the intersection. A known current through this section of electrically small loop produces calculable E and H fields between the sheets in the plane of the loop. These known fields may be used to determine the antenna factor of small E and H antennas placed in the field if the mutual impedance due to the antenna images in the sheets is negligible and the antenna is not close to the open edges of the cell. Measured and calculated antenna factors agree within ± 2 dB between 0.25 and 1000 MHz.
