In this paper, A tag antenna structure for RFID application with resonant frequency of 920MHz is proposed using the meander line technique and Evolution Strategy. Miniaturization structure design for a tag antenna is performed by structure combining the half-wave dipole with a meander line. To achieve this, an interface program between a commercial EM analysis tool and the optimal design program is made for implementing the evolution strategy technique that seeks a global optimum of the objective function through the iterative design process consisting of variation and reproduction. The optimized tag antenna size is 63mm ${\times}$ 15mm ${\times}$ 1mm. And the proposed antenna is realized on FR-4 substrate (${\epsilon}_r=4.4$, $tna{\delta}=0.02$).

The proposed antenna is designed to operate at 900, 1,800, and 2,350 MHz, and is realized by parasitic coupled and stacked a meander line. Meander lines are using extend length of effective current path more than monopole and contribute miniaturization. The coupled meander line controls the excitations of the mobile RFID and PCS, stacked meander line controls the excitation of the WiBro. The fabricated antenna size is $10.98{\times}22.3{\times}0.98\;mm$. The resonance frequencies are 905 MHz, 1.77 GHz and 2.32 GHz. The impedance bandwidths are 24 MHz, 140 MHz and 92 MHz.

In this paper, we studied miniaturization of LPDA(Log-Periodic Dipole Array) antenna used for VHF and UHF bands. To miniaturize the LPDA antenna, in this study, the radiation elements in a low frequency were changed into a triangular meander structure which has small current cancelation effect at feed part. For the triangular meander structure, an isosceles triangular and right triangular meander structures were proposed and the LPDA antennas were miniaturized by using the two meander structures. Also, the simulated and measured results were compared for the two miniaturized LPDA antennas. As a result, the isosceles triangular meander and right angle triangular meander structure applied LPDA antennas were reduced up to 60.5 % and 72.4 % compared a basic LPDA antenna, respectively. Consequently, we confirmed that the triangular meander structure is suitable for miniaturization of a LPDA antenna.

This paper presents design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized GPS/K-PCS dual-band LTCC chip antenna for mobile communication handsets. The dimension of LTCC chip antenna is $9mm\times15mm\times1.2mm$. The meander type radiating patch for dual-band operation is realized by using via holes with 0.3mm height to connect upper and lower-layer antenna. The lower meander type antenna is to be tuned to the lower frequency (GPS) band. The upper meander antenna with via hole connection is to contribute the higher frequency (K-PCS) band. The resonant frequency and frequency ratio of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by changing the height of via-hole and effective path of meander radiating patch. The electrical characteristics of the meander chip antenna applied to a GPS/K-PCS are suitable for mobile communication application.

This article proposes an ultrahigh frequency band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna for drug runout management that can be used in hospitals. The RFID tag antenna is designed to function as a sensor that alerts drug runout when a drug inside a drip chamber is completely consumed but does not work when a drug remains inside a drop chamber. A previously proposed 915 MHz dipole antenna, is too large to be attached to the drip chamber of a feeding bag. Moreover, the length of the dipole (L) should be increased for conjugate matching with an RFID chip. Therefore, the dipole antenna is downsized so that it can be attached to the drip chamber through a fine meander line structure coupling with a corrugate meander line. A transparent cover is added to enhance the grip force between the designed antenna and the drip chamber and to enable detachment. The dimensions of the completed antenna structure attachable to a drip chamber are 32.59 mm (height) and 13.5 mm (width). The gain reduction due to the decreased antenna length is enhanced. The fabricated antenna shows an average omni-directional read range of 10.65 m on a horizontal plane and has the function of sensing the presence of a drug.

In this paper, we propose a compact multiple meander RFID tag antenna with broadband characteristic. The proposed tag antenna has been designed using the multiple meander form to effectively minimize the U-shaped half wavelength dipole antenna as the radiator part. The commercial tag chip is attached to the upper center of the rectangular shaped feed for impedance matching. The size of the antenna is $20{\times}19.7\;mm^2$ and VSWR<5.8 bandwidth is 855~964 MHz which covers the world UHF RFID bandwidth.

The various properties such as the electric current distribution, resonant frequency and radiation patterns of open-ended meander slot antenna placed on a small ground plane, are investigated to give the help in performing antenna design. Based upon these characteristics, the designed antenna which is only 22mm($0.06{\lambda}_g$) in height and 31mm($0.09{\lambda}_g$) in width can operate at the 433 MHz with the measured radiation efficiency of 8% and end-fire radiation pattern. These properties make the antenna suitable for the handheld device such as the wireless remote controller.

In this paper, we proposed a multiple meander strip monopole antenna. Using meander strip structure, we could broaden the impedance bandwidth and reduce the antenna height. The proposed antenna has broad bandwidth, from 2.9 ㎓ to 10.85 ㎓, for VSWR $\leq$ 2 and has vertically polarized omnidirectional conical beam radiation pattern, which is suitable for UWB wireless systems.

This paper presents design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized GPS/K-PCS dual-band LTCC chip antenna for mobile communication handsets. The dimension of LTCC chip antenna is $9mm{\times}15mm{\times}1.2mm$. The lower meander type antenna is to be tuned to the lower frequency (GPS) band and the upper meander antenna with via hole connection is to contribute the higher frequency (K-PCS) band. In order to lowering the resonant frequency for GPS band, two printed modified meander antenna with gap stub is used to integrate with PCS band operation. The measured resonant frequency at GPS band shifts to lower frequency about 100MHz. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR $\leq$ 2) are 55MHz and 120MHz at the resonant frequency. respectively.
