UHF RFID antenna for ETSI and FCC reading applications [link]Website  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents the design of a UHF RFID reader antenna array suitable for applications in the frequency bands of ETSI and FCC standards. The antenna consists of geometrically alternating orthogonal elements (double-dipoles) which are fed in series and in phase by two parallel meander-shaped microstrip lines and creates beams with direction diversity. Simulated and measured results confirmed that for 30 dBm input power level, a semi-cylindrical volume along the longitudinal axis of the antenna with a radius of 500 mm is sufficiently covered. The operating bandwidth (RL>13 dB) of the antenna is about 72 MHz (861-933 MHz) and covers both the frequency bands of ETSI and FCC standards. Assuming tag sensitivity based on the worst-case scenario, experimental results verify that tagged items, which are randomly polarized within the coverage volume, can be properly identified regardless of their tag orientation.
