Abstract
By introducing the Wilkinson divider and dual L-shaped strips as a feeding network, broadband design of planar circularly polarized (CP) annual-ring antenna for ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID system is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed broadband CP antenna can provide the impedance bandwidth (RL≥10 dB) of about 246 MHz (25.0% @ 985 MHz) and the 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth of about 180 MHz (19.5% @ 925 MHz) to meet the worldwide UHF RFID band (860~960 MHz). Meanwhile, with unidirectional pattern in the XZ- and YZ-planes, the measured peak gain and radiation efficiency are about 7.7 dBic and 70% across the operating band, respectively.
