- Abstract
In this work, a platform tolerant novel dual band tag antenna is proposed for UHF‐RFID bands used in Europe (855‐867 MHz) and Japan (950‐955 MHz). Asymmetrical shunt stub feed network is employed to effectively match its impedance to the microchip (Alien Higgs‐4). The antenna miniaturization is achieved by embedding inverted L‐shaped slit on left side of the patch. Also, asymmetrical stepped rectangular slot is embedded to further achieve the optimized dual band response at the desired resonant frequencies (f1 = 866 MHz and f2 = 953 MHz). To further enhance its radiation performance on conductive objects like metallic surfaces, the proposed tag is integrated with artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure. Also, antenna parameters such as main lobe gain, directivity, front‐to‐back ratio parameters are examined for the integrated tag in free space and on metallic sheet. The proposed integrated tag exhibits directional radiation pattern making it insensitive to underlying object and thus platform tolerant. Further, the proposed integrated tag exhibits steady gain response inside the resonating bands on different sized metallic sheets. The proposed integrated tag is compact (2635 mm3) covering European band with a read range of 7.3 m and Japanese band with a read range of 10.8 m.
