In this paper, a compact, lightweight, low-profile dual-band circularly polarized antenna is presented for handheld radio frequency identification (RFID) readers. The proposed antenna consists of two concentric hexagonal rings and a feed network printed on different layers of the dielectric substrate.

The overall size of the RFID antenna is 80 mm?×?80 mm?×?7.76 mm.

A compact microstrip fed dual polarised multiband monopole antenna for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax communication based applications is presented. The antenna is circularly polarised in IEEE 802.11 b/g bands while linearly polarised in IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax bands.

The radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna (at 2.4 GHz) can be changed from left hand circular polarisation (LHCP) to right hand circular polarisation (RHCP) by replacing asymmetric U-shaped slot with its mirror image on the opposite side of ground plane. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth of 110.8% and can also be used in various applications including worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) and IEEE 802.11p standard based V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) communication.
