In this paper, we studied a design method for a coplanar waveguide-fed compact quasi-Yagi antenna for a dual band of the UHF RFID (915 MHz) and GPS (1.575 GHz). The proposed antenna is composed of three elements of a dipole, a reflector, and a director. To reduce its size, the ends of both the dipole and reflector are bent, the director is placed near to the dipole, and a balun is incorporated in the antenna. From some simulations, the proposed antenna using an FR4 substrate with 0.8 mm thickness was designed for the operations in the UHF RFID and GPS systems, and the antenna characteristics such as reflection coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns were examined.

This paper consists of two parts: the protocol for tag-to-tag mesh network and the implementation of dual-radio RFID system. Recently, RFID has been adopted in ports or warehouse, being attached to containers and palettes for loading/unloading automation. However, the RFID system has encountered one problem - some tags cannot receive any command from reader intermittently due to signal interference by containers or field equipments (e. g. cranes and yard tractors). This area where reader signal cannot reach is called dead-zone. The proposed method for solving the dead-zone problem is as follows. A zone which can be communicated directly between readers and tags communicates in 433MHz frequency band in compliance with ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard. On the other hand, dead-zone communicates in 2.4GHz frequency band by using tag-to-tag mesh network in compliance with IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The proposed method can not only save much cost to install additional readers but also help resolve the dead-zone problem. Furthermore, it can provide the easier, faster, and more economical network infrastructure.

In this paper, a dual band LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) with a matching circuit using varactor diode is designed for 912MHz and 2450MHz RFID system. The operating frequency is controlled by the bias voltage applied to the varactor diode. The measured results demonstrate that gain is 13.6dB and 6.8dB at 912MHz and 2450MHz. The measured NF (Noise Figure) is 1.4dB and 3.1dB at 912MHz and 2450MHz, respectively.

In this paper, a dual band microstrip patch Antenna is designed for RFID Application. The antenna shows a good performance at the frequencys, 433MHz and 2.45GHz for the radiation characteristics and input impedance matching as well. The reflection factor is lower than 15dB and a good directivity higher than 3dB is achieved for both frequency.

In this paper, the open loop antenna using a strip-conductor for an RFID reader at dual-band frequency(910MHz, 2.45GHz) is proposed. The impedance is matched by varying the antenna parameters such as the length of strip-conductor and the gap of between two strip-conductors. Return loss and gain of designed antenna are -11.919dB, 2.5dBi at 910MHz, and -15.766dB, 5.65dBi at 2.45GHz, respectively.

In this paper, the dual-band open loop antenna using a strip conductor for the RFID reader and Wireless LAN Application, which has a resonant frequency at 910MHz and 2.45 GHz, is proposed. Input impedance of antenna is matched with the feed line of 50 ohm by varying the length and width of sip conductor making up the antenna. The gain and directivity of antenna is enhanced as tuning the length of strip, and as also grooving the teeth shapes on the strip conductor. The size of fabricated antenna is $75mm\times100mm$. The return loss and the gain of fabricated antenna are -11.92 dB, 3.02 dBi at 910 MHz and -21.31 dB, 4.08 dBi at 2.45 GHz, respectively.

In this paper, a dual band antenna with the operating frequency in HF and UHF band was proposed. The antenna structure consists of three spiral turns coil in the bottom side to generate the HF frequency of 13.56 MHz. In the top of the antenna, an inverted-spiral dipole structure is used to create the UHF frequency of 922 MHz. The dual band antenna was optimized to reduce size with $80mm{\times}40mm{\times}0.8mm$ dimension. The antenna presents the omnidirectional characteristic with high gain. To validate the theoretical design, the antenna was simulated using FR-4 substrate and verified the simulation results.

In this paper, a small RFID tag antenna in UHF band which has bandwidth-enhanced characteristic is proposed. The shape of the proposed antenna is a meander antenna to have size-reduced characteristic, and it consists of two radiators which make dual resonance in adjacent frequency to enhance bandwidth. By adjusting length and location of each radiator, the proposed antenna can make dual resonance at arbitrary location on the Smith chart, which is able to make impedance matching with RFID tag chip in wide frequency range. And it is apparent that the proposed antenna can have bandwidth-enhanced characteristic according to the simulated and measured results.

In this paper, the compact CPW-fed slot antenna for WLAN applications is proposed. While the proposed antenna with size of only $20{\times}18{\times}1mm^3$ is consisted of double stub and folded slot, the antenna for 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band is designed and fabricated with optimized parameters obtained by simulation. Proposed antenna is fabricated with FR-4 substrate to the thickness of 1.0 mm. By obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB at dual-band, we showed that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications, and then it is also expected to be usable as antenna for RFID.
