Abstract

Planar square-spiral antenna using a strip conductor is proposed and analyzed for RFID system in UHF band operating from 860MHz to 960MHz. By varying the length of common line, detached distance, strip line-space, strip line-width and the number of spiral turn, the optimized antenna are designed and fabricated in compact size without a matching-stub between the input port of the proposed antenna and RFID tag chip. From the optimized results, the frequency bandwidth in VSWR<2 has covered 100MHz in the RFID UHF band. The antenna gain has obtained 3.5dBi at the center frequency of 910MHz and the desired beam pattern has shown directional pattern on elevation and azimuth angle. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for practical RFID applications requiring various tag chips with the specific input impedance.

UHF 대역인 860MHz~960MHz에서 동작하는 RFID 시스템용으로 도체스트립을 이용한 평판사각 스파이얼 안테나를 제안하고 분석하였다. 도체스트립의 공통선 길이, 분리간격, 선폭, 선간격, 스파이럴 회전수를 변화시켜서 안테나 입력임피던스와 RFID 테그칩 간을 정합스터브 없이 소형으로 설계하고, 최적화된 안테나를 제작하였다. 최적화된 결과로부터, VSWR<2인 범위의 주파수대역은 RFID 초고주파 대역인 100MHz를 포함한다. 안테나 이득은 910MHz 중심주파수에서 3.5DBi이고, 빔패턴은 수직과 수평방향으로 지향성 패턴을 갖는다. 따라서 제안된 안테나는 규정된 입력임피던스를 갖는 다양한 형태의 테그칩을 요구하는 실질적인 RFID 응용에 적합하다.
