A Low-Profile Metal-backed Dipole Loaded with Closely Coupled Arc-shaped Open Stubs for On-metal Tag Design with Wide Frequency Tuning Capability
Abstract
This research has presented a single-layer metal-backed dipole antenna, which consists of a feedline loaded with two pairs of closely-coupled arc-shaped open stubs, for designing a metal-mountable tag that features tuning capability over a wide range of frequency. Here, the stubs can generate sufficient inductive reactance for bringing down the tag resonant frequency tunable in both the regulated UHF RFID passbands (North American (NA) and Lower European (LEu) standards). Adjusting the stubs’ length can be utilized as a simple and effective tuning mechanism, enabling broadband frequency adjustment in between the two major spectra in a straightforward manner, while maintaining a maximum power transmission coefficient (τ=1). In addition, the proposed antenna structure is easy to construct. The tuning mechanism has enabled the antenna to match well with any commercial RFID chips, and it does not require the use of any external lumped components or shorting elements (vias or stubs). The proposed tag can be easily fabricated using an inexpensive flexible polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrate, which is broadly adopted by the RFID industry. Stable read performance is achievable, providing freedom of frequency tuning without the need to modify the radiator structure. The volume of the tag is reasonably small: (28)2 1.5 mm3. It has a measured detection distance is 9.75 m (4 W EIRP) on metal surface in the NA RFID passband while 8.41 m (3.24 W EIRP) in the LEu passband.
