In this paper, we introduce a multi-coil antenna which is useful for reducing the effects of radio frequency noise in an inductively coupled RFID system. A multi-coil antenna is composed of a central coil and four subsidiary coils that are connected in series. A multi-coil antenna is designed so that the total noise disappear when the induced voltages of a central coil and subsidiary coils are added. The noise in a multi-coil antenna was about 30 dB lower than that in a single coil antenna. The multi-coil antenna is very effective in noise reduction even in an environment that the spatial distribution of RF noise is changed abruptly, and the induced noise was about 16 dB lower than that in a dual coil antenna.

This paper reports the design of RFID reader antennas working in UHF band. The reader antennas were designed using a Pareto Genetic Algorithm(Pareto GA). Antennas were optimized to have circular polarization(CP) with less than 3 dB axial ratio, impedance matching with less than VSWR=2 within the frequency range of UHF, an adequate readable range, a restricted size(kr<2.22) considering the practical condition. After Pareto GA optimization, we selected and built the most suitable antenna design and compared the measured results to the simulations. Operating principle of the antenna was explained by investigating the amplitude and the phase of the induced current on the antenna body. We also researched the stability of the antenna with respect to the manufacturing error and studied the critical design parameters by applying the random error method on the antenna bent points.

This paper describes a wide bandwidth RFID tag antenna design for protection of connection part between chip and antenna. A proposed tag antenna size, a resonant frequency and bandwidth are $53{\times}10{\times}1\;mm$, 900 MHz and 800 MHz($500{\sim}1,300\;MHz$) at -10 dB below, respectively. The dielectric materials with different relative permittivity such as polyethylene, glass and silicon were applied for protection of connection part between the proposed antenna and chip on the way of whole and partial housing. The measured return loss and radiation pattern agreed well with the calculation results. The read range of the proposed tag antenna without any housing and of tag antenna with housing covered over all by silicon with 3 mm thickness were observed about 5 m and 4 m, respectively.

In this paper, a design method for a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed 2-element quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) is studied. A balun between CPW and coplanar strip (CPS) which feeds a planar dipole is implemented by connecting the one end of ground strips in a CPW to a signal strip. The antenna size is reduced by bent strip dipole and reflector, and an integrated balun. The proposed antenna was designed for the operation in a UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) band of 902-928 MHz, and the effects of various parameters such as dipole length, reflector length, distance between dipole and reflector, feed position were examined. The antenna with a size of $90mm{\times}80mm$ was fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results reveal a frequency band of 885-942 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, a gain > 4.3 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 7 dB over the frequency band for the UHF RFID.

This paper presents a design of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification} tag antenna which has high sensitivity for car side mirror. A proposed tag antenna ($154\;mm{\times}66\;mm{\times}1;mm$) resonants at 900 MHz and has a wide bandwidth of 690 MHz($490\;MHz{\sim}1180\;MHz$). The measured gain and readable range of tag antenna are 5.8 dBd and 10 m, respectively. Radiation pattern and readable range of proposed tag antenna located on inside of a side mirror including a car body are measured at anechoic chamber. It has been confirmed that the readable range in the vicinity of $90^{\circ}$ has been expanded about 1.5 m by comparison with one of proposed tag antenna without of car body. Good performance of the proposed tag antenna was observed and proved by comparison of measured results of commercial tag antenna.

In this paper, the miniaturized radio frequency identification(RFID) tag antennas used in UHF band$(908.5{\sim}914MHz)$ are designed and fabricated by using the circular loop antenna(CLA). Miniaturization of CLA was possible to transform the structure of circular loop into the structure of meander line. In the case of double meander line CLA is reduced up to 83% compared with the general type CLA. The $S_{11}$, -10 dB bandwidth, and gain of double meander line CLA were -11.9 dB, 12 MHz(1.3%), and -1.18 dBd. Also, a small half-wavelength CLA using double meander line is designed and fabricated for flat snack bag coated aluminum. The antenna is reduced up to 92.1% except ground. It shows the $S_{11}$ of -16.5 dB, -10 dB bandwidth of 48 MHz(5%) and gain of -0.58 dBd. The radiation pattern shows omni-directional pattern in z-y plane(x-axis pol.). Through this result, we can confirm that miniaturized type CLAs using meander lines are suitable for miniaturized RFIB tag antennas with the UHF band.

본 논문에서는 다구찌 기법을 사용하여 최적설계 한 중심 주파수가 920MHz인 휴대용 RFID 리더안테나를 제안한다. 제안한 안테나는 모서리가 절단되고 정사각형 마이크로스트립 패치에 네 변으로부터 슬롯을 갖는 구조이다. 이러한 슬롯구조는 마이크로스트립 패치안테나를 소형화 시킬 수 있으며, 슬롯이 없는 구조에 비해서 약 18%의 안테나 크기 감소가 가능함을 실험을 통해 확인 하였다. 슬롯의 구조를 갖게 되는 소형의 안테나는 복잡한 설계변수에 따라 변화하므로 최적의 안테나 설계를 위해서는 해석 및 시험단계에 수많은 반복이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 해석 및 실험 횟수를 최소화할 수 있는 실험계획법인 다구찌법의 직교배열 표를 도입하여 설계할 때의 주요 요소들의 민감도 해석을 수행하고 그 영향성을 분석하여 해석결과를 바탕으로 설계반복을 최소화 하면서 최적의 구조를 갖는 안테나를 설계 하였으며 유전율이 4.4이고, 두께가 3.2mm 인 Epoxy 1.6T의 기판상에 제작한 안테나 특성에 대한 실험 결과를 제시하였다.
