TY - JOUR AU - Wang, Te‐Shun AB - A novel miniature monopole tag antenna for passive Ultra‐High Frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) operation is presented.The antenna possesses a two‐sided structure that is printed on an FR4 substrate and fed by a 50‐Ω microstrip line. By properly using helical strips and vias, the antenna size can be reduced to a small volume of 10 (L) × 9.5 (W) × 0.8 (H) mm3 to be easily integrated within various portable devices. A miniaturized quasi‐lumped circuit is also designed to attain a good impedance matching between the antenna and the chip. Experimental results demonstrate that the antenna has a suitable operating band about 914–939 MHz and also quite omnidirectional radiation pattern with appreciable gain. Moreover, the proposed compact tag antenna, capable of achieving a maximum readable range of about 5.6 m with an EIRP equal to 4 W, is well suited for RFID applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
