Design Construction of a Compact Microstrip Antenna with High Gain Working For RFID Band

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use of radio frequency waves to transfer data. Tagging items with RFID tags allows users to automatically and uniquely identify and track inventory and assets. This work deals with the design construction of a compact Microstrip antenna which has a high Gain along with a sufficient Return Loss (S11) and Impedance bandwidth that will work for India RFID band (860 MHz – 960 MHz) ISM band RFID Applications. The antenna has been designed and simulated on a Fire Resistant FR4 Epoxy substrate. The antenna has overall dimensions of 34 x 46 x 1.5 mm3 and has a Microstrip line feed matched to 50Ω. The impedance bandwidth achieved by the final design is about 49 MHz at the 857MHz - 1000MHz ISM band and has an S11 about -32 dB. The final design has a very good radiation pattern. The antenna has been designed using Ansoft High Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS). Software and hardware results are similar.
