  3. Introduction and Background The proposed metamaterial-based UHF RFID reader antenna: The design consists of the following features:1) Rectangular patches2) Inter-digital capacitors3) Tuning stub4) Series fed array Reference: S. Paulotto, P. Baccarelli, F. Frezza and D. R. Jackson, “A microstrip periodic leaky-wave antenna optimized for broadside scanning,” IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, June 9-15, 2007, pp. 5789-5792.

  4. The Manufactured Prototype a = 2.15 mm b = 17.19 mm c = 3.1 mm d = 23.6 mm e = 32.0 mm f = 6.2 mm g = 5.6 mm h = 13.0 mm j = 8.87 mm k = 41.4 mm m =55.95 mm n = 5.6 mm p = 44.59 mm q = 8.8 mm W =136.38 mm H = 83.5 mm Finger spacing = 0.8 mm Finger width = 0.4 mm Finger length = 0.5 mm Substrate: Thickness: 1.58 mm Permittivity: 4.3 (FR4) NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  5. S-parameters of a Single Array A resonant frequency of 920 MHz can be observed. NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  7. Series Fed-arrays Under Test Two UHF RFID reader antennas, mounted on a Styrofoam block, connected in series in the anechoic chamber, formed as a travelling wave antenna. NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  8. Coverage results Good coverage up to 22.86 cm. NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  10. Simulated Surface Currents at 920 MHz NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  11. Antenna Design NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  12. Design Guidelines Simulated S-parameters for a single metamaterial-based RFID reader antenna for various values of m (stub length). The stub width n was also varied in a similar manner and no change in the resonant frequency was observed. Similarly, the dimensions of the patch were increased and decreased by 15% and very little change in resonant frequency was observed. NDSU : APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

  13. Discussion 1) The S-parameter results in this work show that a compact UHF RFID reader antenna can be developed for near-field UHF RFID applications.2) The read-range measurements show that spatially broad near-field coverage can be achieved by connecting multiple antenna in series. This coverage can also be observed from the simulated fields.3) The simulated currents show that this antenna supports current on the radiating patches and the matching stub.

  14. Conclusion 1) A new metamaterial-based UHF RFID reader antenna has been presented.2) This antenna can be connected in series for broad near-field coverage at 920 MHz.3) Measurement and simulation results were compared.4) Initial discussion and guidelines on designing the antenna have been presented.
